The appointing power shall develop an evaluation plan outlining criteria and procedures for consideration of individual salary adjustments. Evaluation plans require standards of expectation for each grade level against which superior, average, or unsatisfactory performance can be gauged, and against which the amount of a pay increase, if any, can be determined. The evaluation plan requires criteria that will assure equity in pay based on merit factors, including quality, productivity, and the like.

Management Personnel Plan employees shall be evaluated after six-months and one year of service, and subsequently at one year intervals. The criteria and process for evaluation shall be determined by the appointing power. Evaluation shall also form the basis for recommendations for management development, professional leaves or other activities related to career development and upward mobility.
