Appeals - OCSEA, 1199
The appeal shall contain a reason and/or documents to identify why the performance evaluation is not accurate. Any documents used by the Employer in evaluating an employee’s performance shall be furnished by the Employer to the employee upon request. The Agency designee may hold a conference or do a paper review of the performance evaluation. A written response will be issued within fourteen (14) calendar days after the appeal is requested. The performance evaluation appeal process is not grievable, except as outlined below:
If an employee is denied a step increase because his/her overall performance is rated “unsatisfactory”, the employee may appeal such action directly to Step Three (3) of the Grievance Procedure. If the grievance is unresolved at Step Three (3), appeal may be taken to Step Four (4) of the Grievance Procedure, The Office of Collective Bargaining. No further appeal may be taken. Should the appeal be successful, the step increase shall be retroactive to the date on which it was due. If the employee’s performance evaluation is not completed on time, the employee shall not be denied a step increase.
