Mandatory Employee Training

To be eligible to receive an overall performance appraisal rating of Fully Achieved Expectations or above, employees must be current in completing all mandatory training requirements at the time the appraisal is completed by the supervisor.

Should an employee need to complete training, supervisors should notify the employee and provide them with a reasonable deadline in which to complete the training before the appraisal is completed.
