110.224  Review and performance planning system.--A review and performance planning system shall be established as a basis for improving the performance of the state's workforce, to provide documentation in support of recommendations for salary increases, promotions, demotions, reassignments, or dismissals; to inform employees of strong and weak points in the employee's performance, improvements expected, and current and future training needs; and to assist in determining the order of layoff and reemployment.

(1)  Upon original appointment, promotion, demotion, or reassignment, each career service employee must be given a statement of the work expectations and performance standards applicable to the position. The statement may be included in the position description or in a separate document. An employee will not be required to meet work expectations or performance standards that have not been furnished in writing to the employee.

(2)  Each employee's performance must be reviewed at least annually, and the employee must receive an oral and written assessment of his or her performance. The assessment may include a plan of corrective action for improvement of the employee's performance based on the work expectations or performance standards applicable to the position.

(3)  The department may adopt rules to administer the review and performance planning system which establish procedures for performance evaluation, procedures to be followed in case of failure to meet performance standards, review periods, and forms.
