The Mayor and Council may, by resolution, establish
an evaluation system to determine, in accordance with appropriate
standards, the performance of employees within their jobs. Such systems
or standards shall, before becoming effective, have the approval of
the Department of Civil Service.
Any system established shall require that:
A. Evaluations be made at least once each year for all
employees who have worked at least three months during a rating period.
B. Each employee shall be notified of his performance
evaluation and shall have the opportunity to review such evaluation
with the supervisor who made the evaluation.
C. Appeals on adverse (i.e., unsatisfactory) performance
evaluations shall be resolved through the grievance procedure herein
set forth. If the rating is a primary or contributing factor in future
adverse action (i.e., demotion, separation, etc.), the employee retains
all rights to a formal hearing as provided in N.J.A.C. 4:1-5 et seq.
Performance evaluations shall be used in determining
eligibility for salary increases and decreases as a factor in promotions,
demotions, transfers and removals and, if unsatisfactory, as a factor
in layoffs.
An employee shall be given the opportunity to
inspect the records which show his performance evaluation.
