Performance Reviews and Pay

Here's what The Guild Update of Oct. 12, 2007 had to say about performance reviews and what they are supposed to usher in: raises.It's like looking for the end of a rainbow.The management’s proposed approach to adjusting pay issues failed to address the issue of ANG employees who are overdue for annual reviews and associated pay raises. We request a summary, for each employee in the bargaining unit, of his or her most recent performance appraisal and recommended merit increase, if any. We understand local managers have told some employees that they were being recommended for raises, or that a manager had “put in for a raise” for some individuals, but that no raise was implemented when the consolidation was announced. We insist that the so-called “consolidation” not be allowed to derail the negotiated process for annual reviews and merit increases. Employees who were due increases are entitled to retroactive adjustments.
