Annual Appraisals

In light of recent events involving managements excessive lowering of Employees' Performance Appraisals, I would like to take this opportunity to empower our readers. Considering the fact that your evaluation is ONLY once a year, it is imperative that it be fair, accurate, clear, and concise. There are guidelines in place to ensure that your performance standards are based on critical job elements. A few of these resources are available at the following locations. Most of these are geared towards Accounts Management employees. However, there is job specific information available at the Human Capital Office site.

Things you should know when you go to vote in the upcoming election:

1. Never, wear any PINS/BUTTONS of any candidate to the polls (you will be turned away).

2. Do not wear Tee Shirts or Caps of candidates. This is considered campaigning for your candidate.

3. Expect to wait in long lines. It is your right to VOTE; but please don't get upset, bring a friend to talk to while you wait.

4. Make sure that your driver's license or state issued I.D. card matches your voter's registration card address.

These are just a few tips that may prove useful for the upcoming election for whomever you may be voting. Please exercise your rights and vote! Change starts with you AND me. I am doing my part, how about you? Your vote is critical in this election, so exercise your right! Any questions or concerns feel free to contact me at 214-413-5555.

	A reminder about Administrative Leave to vote. Article 36 Section 1 -- For the purposes of this article, administrative leave is approved absence from duty without loss of pay and without charge to leave. Section 2 -- As a general rule, when the voting polls are not open at least 3 hours either before or after an employee's regular hours of work, such employee may be granted an amount of excused leave to vote or register which will permit the employee to report to work 3 hours after the polls open or leave work 3 hours before the polls close, whichever requires the lesser amount of time. If a manager refuses to allow an employee administration time off to vote, the matter will immediately be referred to the SCR for determination whether the granting of administrative time off is appropriate.
