Performance Appraisal Materials:

SCSE performance appraisals for Civil Service, AFSCME, Teamsters, and Academic P&As, including post-docs, are underway.

This year, UMD is using the University of Minnesota's Performance Appraisal Tool, also known as PAT. PAT is a secure online performance evaluation tool designed to support staff and supervisors in a simplified performance management process. If you have questions on the review process, be sure to check with your supervisor and review the details below.

Employee Access

You can used this employee access link to log in to PAT anytime to review and update your goals.
During the performance evaluation phase, you will receive an email when it's time to enter your input into the evaluation form.
Follow this guide or video for help navigating PAT.

Supervisor Access

You can log into PAT at anytime to work with your employees to review and update their goals using this supervisor link.
During the evaluation phase, you will receive an email from PAT once an employee has submitted their input.
Although you have access to set up evaluations in PAT, your local PAT Administrator will likely launch all of the reviews for your college/unit.
Follow this guide or video for help navigating PAT.
