Merit pay matrix if defined at this stage Merit appraisal form: See attached form Any supporting documents relating to the merit pay implementation Plan Parameters: Eligibility to participate in merit increase requires employee s start date to be prior to September 1. This includes internal transfers from within the College or University. The performance review cycle will continue to be mid-march through early March. All performance evaluations will be reviewed by the Director of Human Resources prior to the performance meeting with the employee. All supervisors/managers will obtain input from appropriate constituents of the employee in preparing the performance feedback. If the employee does not complete his/her portion of the performance appraisal by the deadline, the employee will not be eligible to receive a merit increase. If a supervisor does not complete his/her portion of the performance appraisal process by the deadline, merit for the supervisor will be negatively impacted. Merit Pool System: 1. The merit pool will be the college as a whole, rather than individual units. 2. Merit will be calibrated annually. 3. Merit funds from open positions and those positions ineligible for merit will be retained at the college and used to augment the merit pool for particularly outstanding performance. 4. Managers will recommend merit to the Dean of the College of Design, who will make the final merit decisions. 5. Merit will be delivered as a percentage of the hourly salary. 6. The merit pool for Civil Service staff will be separate from that for academic staff; i.e., faculty and P&A staff. 1
