It is in union contract and non-union personnel guide. Their contracts spell out the timeline for the evaluation. It is stated in each contract. The intention was to be general and give guidance to supervisors evaluating. This is the town’s intention of the town’s evaluation process. Besides the 4 contracts and at the end of probationary periods for new hires it would be May 15June 15. LG – There is no direction for what they do with the evaluation after it’s complete. Does it go in a file, does it go to HR. I would like to see more detail about that in the policy. Approved as amended, 5-0..” (Motion: Ferguson, second: Elfman)
