Timeline for performance, merit adjusted

The move to online or alternative course delivery in light of the new COVID-19 guidance released by the University — necessary to ensure the health and safety of everyone in the campus community — has created high-priority tasks for many faculty and staff.

While performance and merit are also important, Human Resources recognizes the critical needs that many employees are currently addressing and is therefore offering an alternative to the 2019-20 performance and merit timeline for the West Lafayette, Fort Wayne and Northwest campuses.

• Manager assessments should be completed by May 1. Managers may choose to extend today’s deadline for employees to complete their self-assessments.
• Calibration meetings will take place May 4-11.
• Merit sheets will be launched on May 13. Ratings entered during the manager assessment will appear on the merit sheet. 

The alternative timeline is designed to allow flexibility for everyone to respond to the evolving needs of the campus community, while still allowing time for merit to be entered into the system for a July 1 effective date. These dates may be revisited as the work environment continues to be monitored.
