Important info on your Performance Reports

It seems we have a new attack on Correctional Officers from within our custody ranks at CCC. This comes down to your LOI's & ECR's and ultimately your performance reports. It states in our implemented terms, 9.01, section B. While in the process of completing the annual performance report, the employee's supervisor shall personally meet with the employee to review the report, any notes, documentation, or audits to prepare for this report. NOTHING of negative nature shall be mentioned in the PR if the performance was not previously documented and discussed with the employee during the rating period. UNLESS an employee's performance was of a continuing nature or the the instance was particularly egregious, a singular event shall not be the basis for a substandard or below substandard rating. These reports shall be issued no later then 30 days after the due date of the report. Note, any documentation they use for your performance report must be attached to your PR. If they are speaking of it in your PR, then it must be included. If you have not received your PR by the due date or have not received your copy of your PR by the 30 day limit, please contact us so we can address this accordingly.

Also, 9.05, section D, states that LOI's and ECR's are instructional and intended to improve job performance. These documents are not supposed to be a form of punishment.

So in closing, if you receive an ECR or an LOI, and it was written for the wrong reason, contact us, so we may submit a rebuttal. Second, Check your personal files for your Performance Reports. Make sure there were no changes on it or any other paperwork attached to it without you being aware of it. It is a direct violation of the POBAR. It is also in direct violation if a Lt. orders a Sergeant to change your ratings on your Performance Report. Seems like this has been going on for some time now and we have been documenting this. If you fall under any of these areas, contact me so we may further assist you. Many of these actions are wrong. They are against our Implemented Terms, POBAR, DOM Chapter 3, Article 22 and many other violations, state, union and Federal. We will are working closely with legal on this whole mess. This will not be tolerated at our institution. These person/person's will have to answer for their actions to someone that is much higher then any personnel at CCC. This is serious business folks. It is totally out of line and uncalled for. And also illegal

Know your rights. If you are not sure call one of us. This outlandish behavior does not fall under any CDCr book that I have seen yet. This is very disturbing, especially during these times when we are supposed to be on the same team, we have some out there that has lost the concept of teaching staff and guiding them. But to "cut staff at the knee caps" and forget their roles as Supervisors? Supervisors are custody also, they are not management, so why some feel that they must take on that role is beyond my comprehension. They are subject to the matrix system as well as the rest of us.

Stay Safe and Sane
