SECTION II ....
PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS
Performance evaluations shall continue to be utilized for the traditional purpose of
providing employees with objective measurements as to how well his/her individual
performance contributes to the overall goals and objectives of the organization.
Such evaluations shall also continue to be utilized as a tool to encourage employee
development and high individual achievement.
As described herein, an overall performance rating of "s.atisfactory" shall be the
minimum standard associated with eligibility for annual step movement from the
minimum to the maximum of a position's pay range. An employee who does not
achieve an overall performance rating of satisfactoD/or better shall not be eligible
for step movement for that particular FY.
Exhibit "A"
( CITY OF SANFORD
CLASSIFICATION & PAY PLAN
ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES FOR FISCAL YEAR 1997/98
'1. Existing employees as .of October 1, 1997 shall be evaluated during the n{onth of
September, 1998 for the purpose of determining eligibility for step to step
movement. An evaluation indicative of overall satisfactory performance for FY "'
97/98 shall entitle the employee being evaluated to a ma?dmum of one (1) step
movement within his/her grade level range effective October 1. 1998,
This same process will occur in each subsequent fiscal year dudrig the
September/October timeframe until such time as the maximum (step 15) of the pay
grade has been attained.
2. Employees hired after October 1 of any year who have completed six (6) months
of satisfactory service as of September 30th of the following year will be entitled to
the same consideration as outlined above in the terms of eligibility for a maximum
of one (1) step movement effective October 1 of the following year.
3. Employees hired after October I of any year who have not completed six (6)
months of satisfactory service as of September 30th of the following year will
( become eligible for a maximum of one (1) step movement at the completion of the
6th month of satisfactory service and will have no further entitlement to step
movement consideration in that particular FY.
4.No new hire appointment may be made above step five (5) of a pay. grade without
City Manager approval. :
5. Although the use of special performance evaluations are encouraged in cases of ....
medtorious or adverse performance at any time, such evaluations will not be the
basis for non-roUtine step to step movement.
6. Dudng the ceume of FY 97/98 and prior to September 1, 1998 a revised
performance appraisal system will likely be developed and implemented. Until such
vision is implemented, the existing performance appraisal system will continue to
be in effect.
Although, at this time, step to step movement is not directly tied to levels of
performance other than overall satisfactory service, it is possible that other
performance levels (i.e. above satisfactory, outstandin{;I) may become a key
ingredient in determining eligibility for "special performance pay" should such a
program be approved and funded by the City Commission.
CITY OF SANFORD
CLASSIFICATION & PAY PLAN
ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINF~ FOR FISCAL YEAR 1997/98
Should such funds become available, it is probable that the allocation of s~me will
be based upon levels of performance above the "satisfactory" level and would be
provided in the form of (one time lump sum) "special performance pay" over and ' '
above the routine step movement paid on October 1st of each year beginning in
October, 1998 based upon the previous year's performance.
"Special Performance Pay" shall only be available to employees who worked a full
twelve (12) months of the year on which performance is based.
7. Department Heads will be held accountable for the timely submission of all
performance evaluations when they are due in accordance with these administrative
guidelines.
Requests to extend evaluation peribds should only be for extrao.rdinary reasons and
by mutual agreement between the employee being rated, the Departmeht Head,
and the City Manager. Such requests must be in written format and be on file with
the Personnel Director no later than the original due date of the evaluation.
Requests of this nature cannot exceed six (6) months and in n_no case shall
extensions be retroactive to the original due date.
SECTION III
KEY EMPLOYMENT DATES :
1. Date of Entry (DOE) - The date of initial hire (DOE) is still the key date in ....
determining such things as benefit entitlement, probationary vs, classified status, :
normal retirement eligibility, etc. It also establishes the initial date of classfficatlon,
2. Promotion - A promotion is defined as the movement from a Iowe~'p~y grade to
higher pay grade vacancy as a result of a competitive consideration process. All
promotions shall be accompanied by an increase in pay to be determined by the
Department and governed by budgetary constraint.
Whenever a promotion occurs, the effective date of the promotion becomes the
employee's new date of classification.
3. Demotion - A demotion is defined as the movement from a higher pay grade to a
lower pay grade. Such movement may be voluntary or involuntary.
( CITY OF SANFORD
CLASSIFICATION & PAY PLAN
ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES FOR FISCAL YEAR 1997/98
Although demotions are generally associated with a loss in pay, this is no~ always
the case. Departments shall make every effort to place a demoted employee in the
lower pay grade into a step which is as close as possible to the employee's pay
pdor to the demotion without exceeding the previous pay 9re.
Whenever a demotion occurs, the effective date of the demotion becomes the
employee's new date of classification.
4. Reclassification/Regrade - A "reclassification" action occurs whenever there has
been a significant change in the functions, duties, and responsibilities of a particular
position or class of positions. These significant changes must be of a permanent
nature and not merely a result of temporary need. "A reclassification" action does
not necessarily trigger a change in pay grade level since pay grade levels are
determined by an analysis of job'comparable worth, prevailing wage, and other
internal and/or external equity issues.
A "reclassification" action does not change an existing employee's date of
(. classification.
A "regrade" action occurs whenever it is determined that a particular position or
class of positions pay range is in need of adjustment. Such determination is based
upon prevailing wage comparison, comparable worth comparisons, intema! or
external equity analysis, and/or significant increase or decrease in ddnction, duties,
and responsibilities, of a permanent nature. A "regrade" action generally reflects the
worth of the position rather than the worth of the incumbent.
Whenever a ?rC-~grade" action is approved, the position or class of positions affected
will be placed into the approved pay grade level and all incumbents will be placed
in the same step level held at the effective date of the "regrade".
A "regrade" action does not change an existing employee's date of classification.
Should a "reolassi~cation" and/or Iregrade" action affect a yacant position, and
should such position be filled via promotion or new hire, a change in date of
classification will occur.
