Beginning today, HR launches the staff employee 24-25 performance review process using Paycom. This year, HR has updated the individual contributor and manager/supervisor performance review forms and is using a Paycom checklist to deliver and complete the performance review tasks. This updated process is designed to foster a culture of continuous growth, development, and open communication across our institution. The form resembles past years; however, additional text boxes have been added for employees and supervisors to provide brief examples and comments on when performance falls below or exceeds a ranking of 3, which meets expectations (this step is required). The 24-25 Performance Review should be completed and will serve as a substitute for the 90-day review for employees who are still within their 90-day probationary period through July 31.
The new performance review process will include:
- Performance Review Guidelines: A section to describe the changes to the performance review process and how the rating system works.
- 24/25 Performance Goal/Accomplishment Review: A formal opportunity for employees and supervisors to discuss progress on last year's two goals or accomplishments, if goals were not previously established.
- Competencies Review: A review of specific competencies with a text box to comment and provide examples on when performance falls below or exceeds a ranking of 3.
- 25/26 Performance Goal Setting: Employees and supervisors will collaboratively establish two clear, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals that align with departmental and university objectives.
- Goal and Competency Total: Sections for the employee and supervisor ratings.
- Signature and Date: The employee and supervisor should sign and date the review once it has been completed for their respective sections.
Timeline for the First Cycle:
The staff employee performance review cycle will begin today and conclude on July 31, 2025. Supervisors will review, meet, and conclude the performance review cycle by September 30, 2025.
Training and Resources:
To ensure a smooth transition, the Paycom checklist contains a 24-25 Performance Review Process Training video, Instructions for choosing the Appropriate Form, the applicable Performance Review Form, and a guide for all employees and supervisors. The training video covers the new process, including how to set effective goals and provide constructive feedback. You can also locate the Annual Performance Review 24/25 Paycom guide .
