The performance evaluation cycle for UK HealthCare follows the fiscal year. Performance evaluations will typically become available to employees in early May and are due at the end of June. Performance evaluations are based on the employee's major job responsibilities, as outlined in their job description.
Faculty, physicians and select other employees do not participate in this performance evaluation process. UK HealthCare Leadership have their own, separate process within the system. Information regarding this process can be found here.
