Academic Staff Personnel Decisions

Category A & C

At the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point we evaluate our employees' performance for five reasons:

  • To enable you to fully understand what's expected of you
  • To help you assess the quality of your past work
  • To give you constructive feedback from those with whom you work
  • To gain information we may use to make accurate personnel decisions on such matters as promotion and retention
  • To encourage you to do your best work

Annual Review Procedures

Supplemental Review

PLEASE NOTE:  If you want to participate in the review of someone listed on the "Supplemental Review Roster", you need only contact that employee's supervisor or program assistant.  You should not create an electronic review (only the employee up for review and their supervisor need to create the electronic review).  When the supplemental review is available, you will receive an e-mail with instructions on how to participate/respond.   PLEASE do not attempt to participate or respond to another staff member's supplemental review before receiving the e-mail as it will not register or be valid.

For questions or additional information, please contact Mick Veum, Associate Vice Chancellor for Personnel, Budget & Grants at extension 3710.

Category B Merit

Each Category B Academic Staff member in a department generates 14 merit points. Ten of these 14 points are distributed to the department to be allocated according to departmental procedures. The remaining 4 points are distributed among the department chairperson (1 point), the dean of the college (2 points), and the vice chancellor (1 point) to be allocated according to the appropriate procedures for each. In order to receive the full pay plan increase, a total of must 14 total merit points must be earned.

Procedural guidelines for merit distribution can be found in the University Handbook, Chapter 4B, Section 5, under Evaluation of Category B Academic Staff. Typically this would be on pages 64-70.
