Performance Management Process
In 2008, Governor Sebelius signed House Bill 2916 into law which
initiated a new State of Kansas compensation system for classified
employees. Perhaps the most important aspect of the new compensation
system is the new Performance Management Process.
Under the new Performance Management Process, all State of Kansas
classified employees will be consistently evaluated within all agencies.
The new Performance Management Process will be implemented in 2009. The
new pay plans will be linked to performance beginning with the fiscal year
2011 (June 2010).
With the new Performance Management Process, mid-year discussions and
annual evaluations are conducted on a set range of dates. For most
employees the first mid-year discussions will occur between April 1 and
June 30 and annual evaluations will be due between October 1 and December
23 every year.
The Performance Management
Process Form (pdf) is to be used
to document the
planning, coaching and reviewing processes. The form is available in
multiple formats on the Review
Forms page. Refer to the instructions for completing the performance management process
form.
