The first service reports on classified employees at the University of Kansus are to be completed carly this month, In order that the procedures for the ratings may be understood by all supervisors, 4 meeting is being called in Hoon 9, Frank Strong Hull, Friday, April 6th, at 3:30, Mr. George Khodes of the Statbe.Civil Service office will be here to explain the plan and the procedures, It is important that every supervisor receiving this letter attend the meeting. If, for any reason, you will be unable to be there, please get in touch with me immediately so that arrangements may be made for someone to represent you, The attached mimeoyvraphed sheets prepared by the Civil Service Department ure sent for your general information and should be read before you attend the meeting. Sincerely yours, RAYMOND NICHOLS Executive Secretary KN:gs SERVICE REPORT PROCEDURE The following instructions and suggestions are intended to help you in completing the service reports for the employees under your supervision, Please read these instructions over carefully before you begin the rating of your employees. WHO IS TO BE RATED? A service report is to be prepared for each employee in the state classified service including employees on probation, part-time, and pro- visional employees as well as those who have permanent status. The present plan is to complete a service report for each employee every six months. As the serv- ice rating program develops, it may be found necessary to change to an annual rating or to a quarterly rating but at present, the semi-annual plan seems prefer- avdle.. WHO WILL DO THZ RATING? Each employee will be rated by his immediate supervisor, the person who is closest to his work and in the best position to observe him, The rating of the suvervisor will be reviewed by the head of the unit or division and then by the appointing authority, the head of that particular state agency. THE USE OF THE DIFFEP2NT BLANKS: When you begin rating your employees, you may find that there are several different types of rating blanks provided. A separate — rating form has been prepared for each of thirteen different groups of classes. Obviously an accurate rating could not be made for a stenographer, a carpenter, a laborer, and a physician, all on the same type of blank, These service report blanks are numbered from 1 to 13 and there is an additional short rating sheet for those employees having supervisory responsibility. Any employee whose duties include actual direct supervision of more than two others, is to be rated on the supervision blank in addition to the regular blank for his class. OUTLINE OF THE PROCEDURE 1,
