TO THE STATE EMPLOYEE:

At this time "service reports" are being prepared for all employees in your
agency. Naturally, you will have many questions to raise about this program,
. the most important of which are answered briefly below.

WHO WILL MAZE THE SERVICH RATINGS? Someone in your own agency, some supervisor
who knows what work you do and the manner in which you do it, will make the ac-
tual rating of your service. The reports will be returned to the Department of
Civil Service for the routine process of scoring, but the actual evaluation of
your service will be made by someone within your own agency and will in no way
be changed by the Department of Civil Service.

HOW OFTEN WILL SERVICE REPORTS BE PREPARED? Beginning with the present report,
@ periodic rating of your service value will be prepared rey every
six months,

WHAT IS THE FURFOSE OF SERVICE REPORTS? One of the basic purposes is to pro-
vide the appointing authority with a useful tool in the evaluation of his em-
ployees for consideration in connection with salary increases and promotional
possibilities,

OF WHAT VALUE IS THIS SERVICE REPORT TO YOU? Here is an opportunity for you to
"see yourself as others see you." At the conclusion of the scoring process, you
will be sent a notice advising you of your score on the service report - that is,
you will learn whether you ere considered by your supervisors to be an excellent
employee, or a good, average, fair, or poor one, as compared with the other em-
ployees in your agency. Furthermore, if you wish to know more ebout your rating
on particular phases of your work, the Department of Civil Service will provide
you with a copy of the service report which was submitted for you. A careful con-
sideration of this report will point out to you places where you can improve your
service to the State and will also show those phases of your work in which your
service has been particularly good.

After you have received your grade notice on the first service report, we will be

pleased to have you bring to the attention of this Department any further ques-

tions you may have as to the nature and purposes of this program. If you wish

to call in person at our office, a staff member will be on hand to look over your
S service report with you.

Yours very truly,
2 a

Department of Civil Service
