Officer and Exempt Professional Performance Management

2008-2009 Boulder Campus Performance Management Deadlines, Information and Forms

Performance management serves as a mechanism for providing feedback to our officer and exempt professional workforce regarding their performance expectations and achievements. Consistent with Regents Laws and policies, the performance of officers and exempt professionals (OEPs) must be evaluated and rated annually. As a result, a performance rating form and an evaluation form for all OEPs must be completed and submitted to the Department of Human Resources' Office of Labor Relations (OLR), 565 UCB, by June 15, 2009. Departments should check with their Vice Chancellors to determine their division's deadline for completing evaluations since this date may be earlier than the OLR's June 15th deadline.

Please be advised that System Administration has created a new Administrative Policy Statement (APS) regarding performance ratings for Officers and Exempt Professionals (OEPs) which went into effect on April 1, 2009.  This APS is located at: https://www.cu.edu/policies/policies/HR_PerfRatings_OEP.html and requires the use of a 5 tiered rating scale, which is outlined in the APS.  This means that all OEPs should be evaluated using the 5-tiered rating scale this year, i.e., by June 15, 2009.   However, departments that have already begun their OEP evaluation process and conducted evaluations using the 4 tiered rating scale can continue to use the 4 tiered rating scale and submit that rating form and evaluation to the OLR.  A sample rating form that can be used for OEPs can be found at: http://www.colorado.edu/humres/downloads/OEPRating.doc. 

Departments are free to create evaluation forms that suit their individual department's needs. While the OLR is not currently collecting performance plans for OEPs, we encourage all supervisors of OEPs to include performance planning in the performance management process for their employees. For those seeking guidance in creating a performance planning and evaluation form for their department, a template form can be found at: http://www.colorado.edu/humres/downloads/OEPPlanAndEval.doc.
 
Thank you for your cooperation and for your help in helping our employees be as productive and successful as possible.  If you have any questions, please contact the OLR at 303-735-5416.
