• Policies and Procedures

Purpose

Seton Hall University (the “University”) is committed to attracting, developing, managing, and retaining a high performing, diverse, and productive workforce. Employee performance standards and accountability linked to the University mission, strategic plan, and priorities are vital components of performance management and our institutional assessment program.

Scope

This policy applies to University staff and employees.

Policy

The University’s performance appraisal procedures provide for consistent and equitable performance reviews of Seton Hall University administrative and staff employees. Through regular and constructive feedback, performance appraisals help identify strengths, uncover areas for improvement, and support the career development of individuals. The performance appraisal system provides an opportunity for communication and dialogue between the employee and the supervisor about the individual’s work performance.

A performance appraisal, utilizing the University’s approved electronic system, should be prepared annually for staff and administrative employees. In addition, an interim review may be conducted at the discretion of supervisors.

Performance appraisals for staff positions in a bargaining unit will be conducted in accordance with the terms of the applicable collective bargaining agreement.
