Supervisors and employees are encouraged to review the goals set at the end of last fiscal year and prepare to have “check-in” conversations about the progress of those goals. To help with those discussions, the 2021-2022 PEPs are now available, in PatherSoft HR.

Important: The mid-year discussion is just a “check-in.” PEP documents should NOT be submitted at this time. The final PEP deadline remains Friday, September 30, 2022.

FAQs regarding the PEP Mid-Year Checkpoint are available in the PEP Toolkit located on the HR website.

Additionally, on-demand training, providing PEP Mid-Year Checkpoint guidance to employees and managers, is now available on FIU Develop:
