Council approves annual performance-evaluation and merit policy update
Summary
Peachtree City council adopted changes to personnel policy requiring annual performance evaluations for all employees with evaluations tied to merit increases; the council approved the revision during the work session.
Peachtree City council approved revisions to the personnel policy that specify annual performance evaluations for all full- and part-time employees and tie merit eligibility to completion of a 12-month continuous-service period.
Why it matters: The revision formalizes the city’s performance-evaluation schedule and clarifies that annual evaluations will align with merit increases adopted by council in the operating budget. City HR said these clarifications will improve transparency and link evaluations to merit adjustments adopted each fiscal year.
Key changes approved: Staff asked the council to require that evaluations occur at least once per calendar year (Jan. 1–Dec. 31), with the Human Resources director responsible for setting the annual evaluation due date. The policy also specifies that employees must complete 12 months of continuous service to be eligible for merit increases tied to annual evaluations.
Council action: A councilmember moved and the council seconded the recommended updates. After brief remarks, the council voted in favor and the motion carried.
Next steps: Human Resources will implement the new annual-evaluation schedule, align the merit timeline with the fiscal budget process and provide guidance to departments.
Ending: Council members noted the change will help ensure consistent evaluation timing and clearer linkage between performance and merit adjustments.
