Merit Appeals Board February 2, 2022 <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay, thank you, Waylen. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: You're welcome. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Anyone have other questions for the quarterly report? No? Okay, Waylen, I <br />guess you can move on. <br />Performance Appraisal System Policy & Procedures And Performance Appraisal Review <br />Form Update <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: The second item under the "Director's Report" is our Performance <br />Appraisal System Policy & Procedures and Performance Appraisal Review Form, which I'm <br />happy to say that we have sent out for union consult—that required union consult, `cause it's a <br />revision to an existing policy and procedure. <br />And so, we only got a couple of unions that—minor concerns. A lot of—like, just housekeeping <br />things, questions on defining certain words—so nothing major. <br />We are moving forward with training supervisors on the new policy and procedures, which <br />begins on Friday. But we can continue to work with the unions on ironing out any questions that <br />they have. <br />So, although we're a little over one-year in implementation we are—we have finalized the form <br />and the new policy and procedures—so that is in place. <br />CHR. CABANAS: So, the departments that had their established internal JPR form <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. <br />CHR. CABANAS: they're okay with this new format now? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: I'm going to tell you that it did involve a lot of back and forth. It wasn't <br />welcomed with open arms because I'm sure you can all understand that they're so they were all <br />used to their own forms. But we were trying to streamline it and make everything consistent. <br />And so, it took us a year to engage with all of the departments to discuss why we're doing, what <br />we're going, and to get them to understand. So, by the end of December, they were all, pretty <br />much, on board. And what they liked about it is the simplicity of this new form and the <br />explanation provided in a more comprehensive policy and procedure that we put in place. So, I <br />think that helped them a lot. <br />If you provide the guidance to them, they're more amenable to, kind of, adopting whatever we <br />put forth. So, we did get some resistance but nothing significant. So, we're going to move <br />forward and see how this goes. <br />Page 9 <br />
