Performance Management
The Boulder Campus performance management program for classified staff can be found on the campus .
In summary, consistent with Colorado Personnel Board Rules, all permanent classified staff, including those who hold permanent part-time employment must receive an annual performance plan, a performance evaluation, and an overall performance rating for each classified staff position an individual employee occupies. Supervisors are not required to complete performance plans, evaluations, and overall performance ratings for temporary employees including retirees occupying temporary classified staff positions.
General Timeline
