As you may know, Arbor Acres holds annual performance reviews for all employees each year on
Paycom. This year, the process begins March 22 when the self-reviews open in Paycom.
I will answer some common questions, especially for those who haven’t gone through the process yet to ease any nerves!
I was hired recently. Will I have a performance review?
If you were hired after November 1, 2023, you will NOT be included in the performance review and increase process this spring. You WILL have a performance review next year (2025).
Do I have to complete a self-review? Why should I?
Self-reviews (which start March 22 on
Paycom) are not mandatory; however, we would LOVE you to reflect on your year! Writing a self-review is a great opportunity to advocate for yourself and the progress you made this year to make sure your supervisor understands your goals and how you feel about your progress.
I always get NERVOUS around the annual performance reviews. What is the process like?
The performance reviews should not cause you anxiety because they will not include any new information that you haven’t already heard from your manager. This means that there are NO surprises!
Your manager will:
- Recap the year, reminding both of you of struggles and successes.
- Set goals for the upcoming year. This may be something to improve on, a new skill you are learning or something that you can do to support your department or the company.
How does my performance review affect my pay?
There are three “ratings” in the reviews:
- Needs to Improve
- Performing Well, and
- A final rating for staff who consistently and exceptionally exceed in a particular area. This rating is difficult to achieve and is only given to a few stellar employees who set the bar of excellence.
To ease any anxiety, most employees receive "Performing Well." Arbor Acres staff who receive this rating or above at their performance review will receive a pay increase!
Some employees have one or more areas where they could have improved their performance, and may have received written discipline for. Written discipline can affect the size of your pay increase.
What do I need to do?
-
Complete your self-review in Paycom between March 22 and March 31.
- Your supervisor will schedule a one-on-one between May 10 - 21, when they will discuss your performance and share your increase amount, if applicable. You will need to sign off on the review in Paycom at that meeting.
If you are receiving an increase, it will show up for the pay period of May 5 - 18, which is paid on Friday, May 24.
