As we approach the end of the fiscal year, this memo serves as a reminder that the deadline for the Annual Staff Performance Appraisal Program is June 30, 2020. Review the Vice Chancellor of Human Resources' memo online.

To prepare for the annual review, we are providing procedures that support the staff performance appraisal program. Visit the Office of Human Resources website at hr.pitt.edu/employee-resources for various resources including toolkits and appraisal forms which are available to aid managers and staff in preparing for and holding performance appraisal discussions.

This year, all areas across the University are required to conduct a performance appraisal with each employee. Please note that regional staff members should follow their regional HR office instructions, as they may differ from the Pittsburgh campus' process. Details regarding the performance appraisal process can be found on the OHR website.

In conjunction with OHR's ongoing Shaping the Workplace initiative to identify the broader workplace environment that it wishes to shape and maintain, Responsibility Centers (RC) are being asked to confirm that all staff in their area have completed an annual performance appraisal by July 31. OHR will review a sampling of staff performance appraisals to ensure minimum requirements are met as stated by University policy.

For further inquiries or assistance with the staff performance appraisal cycle, please contact the Office of Human Resources by submitting a request online at hr.pitt.edu/contact-ohr.
