4 /28/ of 5 ADDITIONAL DATA (continued) Appraisal of subordinates performance is a continuous process. The use of an annual evaluation system DOES NOT relieve supervisors of their responsibility to monitor and document subordinates performance throughout the rating period. The Uniform Evaluations Due web page provides a roster of annual and probationary PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS that are due for specific personnel. Certain commands are required to provide additional PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS (i.e., investigative track commands and requests due to monitoring). The Online Evaluation System does not preclude commands from providing additional PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS when necessary. The rater will take into account the ratee s performance concerning equal employment opportunity (EEO) issues. EEO factors having a bearing on the rating in that category will include, but not be limited to, whether the member has engaged in conduct that violates provisions of the Department Manual, Title VII, other applicable equal employment opportunity laws, or the Department s equal employment opportunity policy. All newly promoted sergeants, lieutenants and captains are on probation in rank for a period of twelve (12) months unless cause exists to extend such period for an additional six (6) months. Extension of probation beyond twelve (12) months may be authorized on a case-by-case basis. The command responsible for preparation of the PERFORMANCE EVALUATION is the command where the member was assigned on the last day of the rating period. FOREIGN LANGUAGE TRANSLATION ABILITIES Raters will ensure that recognition is given to members who utilize their language proficiency for translation and interpretation in the performance of their regular duties, or as part of the volunteer language initiative. The use of this skill shall be afforded the same recognition as any other special skill needed by the Department. PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS will include in the Overall Rater s Comments any experience gained while serving as a translator/interpreter in criminal investigations. Commanding officers will ensure that evaluations of volunteer members are not negatively affected by their assignment to translation/interpretation duties. These tasks shall be evaluated as a proportionate part of their assigned duties. When a sub-managerial civilian member is transferred, the commanding officer/supervisory head will direct that the PERFORMANCE EVALUATION CIVILIAN SUB-MANAGERIAL is completed and the form is forwarded to the Employee Management Division. The ratee will be given a copy of the form. The immediate supervisor in the new command will prepare a new PERFORMANCE EVALUATION CIVILIAN SUB-MANAGERIAL, listing tasks and standards of the ratee s new assignment. If excessive absence, tardiness or poor performance is cited as a reason(s) for a BELOW STANDARDS or WELL BELOW STANDARDS rating, include a copy of the appropriate form including: CIVILIAN RECORD OF SUPERVISORY CONFERENCES (SUB- MANAGERIAL) (PD ), CIVILIAN LATENESS/WARNING NOTIFICATION (PD ), or CIVILIAN UNSATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE WARNING (PD ), when appropriate.
