Beginning Monday, Nov. 4, the first Probationary Checkpoint Evaluations will be distributed through UCPath ePerformance to supervisors of new staff employees.

By early December, UCPath ePerformance will also begin sending automated email notifications to supervisors when Probationary Final Evaluations documents are ready to be completed.

UCPath ePerformance brings consistency

For the first time, all UC Davis supervisors will use the same system to evaluate a new staff employee’s probationary performance. Near their three-month mark, supervisors will have the opportunity to rate each probationary employee’s performance as Satisfactory or Improvement Needed. 

As part of this conversation, the supervisor will work with the employee to identify two or three performance goals on which the employee should focus over the remaining three months of their six-month probationary period. Having these critical conversations at the outset of an employee’s time with us, helps support their long-term success with UC Davis.
