Annual performance appraisals are still required. They are no longer required on the employee’s anniversary date. The Annual performance appraisal period is from January through December and appraisals are required University wide by February 15th.

It is recommended that the current supervisor consult with the prior supervisor to complete an annual performance appraisal. If this is not possible, the current supervisor should consult with prior supervisor’s manager to solicit input and complete an annual performance appraisal.
