Boston University
Performance Evaluation Program
for Employees Represented by Local 2324

In accordance with Boston University's collective bargaining agreement with Local 2324, UAW, performance appraisals are conducted annually for all eligible Local 2324-represented employees.

Supervisors, in consultation with their Department Heads, are responsible for completing a Boston University Performance Appraisal form for each employee who meets the service criteria of having completed the probationary period on or before September 1st of the evaluation year. Department Heads are responsible for ensuring that, to the best of their knowledge, employees have been appropriately evaluated.

The Timeline
