Supervisor's Comments:
There are frequent mistakes made by Amy in the performance of her duties. As a result, close
supervision is required, and frequently she needs to be reminded of her tasks. Lack of effective solutions
on her assigned tasks.
Unfortunately, despite ongoing training, Amy has not been able to perform her essential job functions
independently. She requires close supervision and is unable to perform many of her duties without it.
Amy has not yet been able to perform all of the essential duties of her role as an Admin Aide.
Physical inventory of all sites was not completed by the due date on the PIP. Further training was
necessary. All instructions and training have been provided on several occasions.
Maintain accurate database for the Department fixed asset inventory and do physical inventory: Despite
ongoing training, Amy has not been able to perform the inventory correctly and independently. Amy is
unable to follow instructions, which has led to an increase in burnout among other staff members.
It is important that you take the necessary steps to meet the expectations of the position. This includes
following instructions, double-checking work assignments for accuracy before submitting, and
responding to requests accurately and timely.
Communication needs to improve. In several instances, emails have been sent with others copied on
them, but you have only replied to the sender and not to the full group. This leaves others out of the
email trail.
Back in December 2024, we created a performance improvement plan with some goals to achieve.
There have been some improvements in the P-card documentations and in completing purchase
requisitions. However, some mistakes are still being made. .
Employee's Comments:
1. In the supervisors notes the statement was made that close supervision was stated
that I needed. Can I please get carification on what close supervision is? Rarely do I need
to be reminded as to what I need to do since my manager (Johanna) doesn't trust me to
do anything (per meeting with Johanna, Jennifer Powell and myself). I do not lack
effective solutions to assigned tasks but do ask questions to get answers to make a
decision. When I do ask questions there are repercusions ( write up or suspended) and
talked down to or disrespected as a consequence. 2. I have been able to perform my job

questions so I don't make a mistake ( again for the fear of not being treated respectfully). at the pleasure of the appointing authority.
How is "close supervision" being applied when I am either in the office by myself or the
other employees stay in their office all day and don't speak or contact me? 3. If further
training is necessary why haven't I been contacted about this training. If this training has

respond to requests accurately and timely. There have been occasions, such as, working
on a large project that I could mess up that I will not see a request that has come in and

public knowledge and is a violation of my privacy. I also want to say nowhere in this
evaluation does it state that I have ADA accommodations.
