- For Non-Represented Staff: Haas managers and their direct reports will have two formal check-ins annually. The two check-ins will use standardized questions to help talk about four themes:
1. Goal Accomplishment – meaning how well organizational, business unit, and individual work
goals are achieved.
2. Job Mastery – meaning how well you demonstrate knowledge, skills, and abilities related to
your role and how these boost your performance and organizational contributions.
3. Collaboration – meaning how well you collaborate with others and support their success in
achieving organizational goals.
4. Innovation – meaning how well you use your knowledge and experience to generate new,
actionable ideas which improve outcomes and add efficiencies.
Of course direct reports and managers can and should always talk about performance matters and professional
development on an ongoing basis as well. Visit the Performance Management page for all details. - Upon hiring an employee supervisors should thoroughly review the Guide to Managing Human Resources Chapter 6: Probationary Period http://hrweb.berkeley.edu/guide/probation.htm
- Personnel policies surrounding probation are different depending upon whether your employment appointment is non-represented or represented by a labor contract. Non-represented employees follow Personnel Policies for Staff Members and the Probation Policy is found under Section 22. Employee’s represented under the Clerical and Allied Services contract will find the Probationary Policy within the Contract Article 29.
- If you have questions regarding these policies, contact the Assistant Dean for HR and Administration for guidance.
UC has a process set up so employees can provide complete Employment Verification to interested parties.
Current employees (or those who departed UC after January 2019) should log in to UCPath and select: Employee Actions > Income & Taxes > Verification of Employment and follow the instructions “How to Provide Proof of Your Employment and Income.”
From the above steps, you can also generate an Employment Verification report that you can send them, but most will still want to complete the employment verification. You can also view these instructions on the Employee Resources page for UCPath.
If you need to have forms completed by your Employer, please open a ServiceNow ticket for the BRS Records Management Team. You can then attach the form that needs to be completed to the SN Case along with the details of your request.
Please note that we are not employees of Haas or UC Berkeley. We are employees of the University of California, as indicated on our W2 & pay stub. Please review your W2 & pay stub for employer and address information.
