Civil Service Employees – Performance Assessment Review (PAR)

Important Notes

The State of New Jersey Performance Assessment Review (PAR)

The Performance Assessment Review is an assessment model, using a three-tiered rating scale. This system is used to evaluate performance for employees and/or their supervisors who are currently represented by the following unions:

  • Communication Workers of America (CWA) Local 1031
  • International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE) Local 195
  • Policemen’s Benevolent Association State Law Enforcement Units (PBA-SLEU)
  • New Jersey Superior Officers Law Enforcement Association (NJSOLEA)
  • New Jersey Law Enforcement Supervisor Association (NJLESA)

The Performance Assessment Review (PAR) is conducted using the Workday system and is an important part of organizational performance management. The PAR enhances organizational effectiveness and efficiency for the University.

The PAR is mission critical to maintaining a positive relationship between employer and employee and environment. The PAR process encourages employee engagement and communication between rater (Supervisor) and ratee (Employee) to help to align common departmental goals and strategic initiatives.

Important Notes

  • Performance Assessments must be completed for all Civil Service employees at Montclair State University.
  • If an employee transfers to another campus department, current supervisors should conduct a “close-out” evaluation prior to the employee’s last day of work. This should document his/her performance through the last day of work. The new supervisor should establish an Initial Agreement with the new employee.
  • The Reviewer (the supervisor’s manager) may not change the rating unless it is mutually agreed upon by both the Ratee (employee) and the Rater (supervisor).
