Classified Compensation Reform Phase II Training
Performance Management On-Line Training 

Classified Performance Management is a key component of Compensation Reform for classified employees and is guided by VCU's Classified Salary Administration Plan.  As illustrated by the graphic below, performance is the foundation for all salary increases; poor performers are not eligible for increases and good performers can be rewarded in a variety of ways.  (For more information about Compensation Reform, see pay practices and recognition awards).

The performance management process is another way to reward good performance, develop employees, and address performance concerns.  Below are documents to assist with the probationary period and the annual performance cycle.
