§ 20.09. Reconsideration of ratings.  


Latest version.
  • Except for employees covered by Rule 20.11, the employee may initiate a timely grievance in accordance with the department's grievance procedure or through the grievance procedure contained in any memorandum of understanding in effect between the county and the certified employee organization for the classification in which the employee works, or any specified item or items of the report including the overall rating, except for an overall rating of "unsatisfactory." Upon completion of the grievance proceedings, the appointing power shall either approve the report as originally prepared or direct that a new report be prepared, and shall notify the employee of the decision. If, subsequent to a resignation, an employee who held permanent status receives a performance evaluation with an overall rating of "improvement needed" or "unsatisfactory," the employee may, within 10 business days after delivery or mailing a copy of the evaluation, request reconsideration of the rating by the director of personnel. This request must be in writing setting forth in detail all the reasons upon which the request is made. Upon receipt of the request, the director of personnel may deny the request, upholding the rating as prepared, or conduct a hearing from written materials. In no event shall the decision of the director of personnel affect the employee's resignation.
