All positions regardless of funding will be presented to the Position Justification Committee for approval.  All positions with a salary potentially over $50,000 must then go to Dr. Jacobs for approval.  The PJC has given the directive that once a position has been reviewed, if it is not approved the funding will be immediately swept.  There is a potential to have the funds reinstated providing that substantial justification is provided to the PJC at a subsequent meeting.  Submission of justification information should be coordinated with your HR Rep. 

The next scheduled PJC meeting will take place on August 26, 2009.  Regular PJC meetings will be held on Tuesdays beginning in September barring any schedule change requests from the committee. 

Position Justification Committee Members:
Bill Logie, Mark Chastang, Scott Scarborough, Dr. Jeffrey Gold, Dr. Roland Skeel, Norma Tomlinson, Dr. Rosemary Haggett

The PMP Process will not be mandatory at this time.  The timeline for the process will be changing to reflect the calendar year.  This will hopefully reduce the departmental burden at the end of the fiscal year when the evaluations have been traditionally completed. 

The HR department encourages you to continue to meet with your employees and use the materials provided to discuss their performance as a mid-year evaluation, with the understanding that an annual evaluation will take place closer to the end of the year.
