Policies

2-001 Performance Appraisals

The job performance of each A&P, USPS, and Faculty employee is to be reviewed (discussed) annually to ensure performance standards are met, to review the employee’s position description to enhance communications, and to convey the supervisor’s performance expectations for the coming year.

Guidelines

SDES Travel Guidelines

SDES would like to provide increased travel and professional development opportunities for our employees. Though the division will retain many of the same restrictions, such as limiting the allowable financial assistance and the number of employees who may attend any one conference, it is our hope that more individuals will be able to take advantage of professional development opportunities, especially those held within the local or regional area. The process for requesting approval is linked above.
