MANAGERS GUIDE TO COMPLETING THE PERFORMANCE ADVISORY FORM In accordance with the New Jersey Administrative Code and the Judiciary’s collective negotiations Agreements, managers are required to complete annual performance advisories for each employee in his or her division or unit. Performance Advisories are necessary to ensure that employees know what is expected of them in relation to the performance of their duties. It also ensures that there is a continued and productive dialog between managers and their staff concerning the goals and objectives of each unit within the Judiciary. Please Note: 1. When an employee moves from one position to another within the Judiciary, whether a vicinage position or central office position, an evaluation must be conducted so that the employee’s performance for the entire evaluation period is documented. 2. If a manager or supervisor leaves the work unit for any reason (transfer, retirement, etc.), evaluations must be completed for staff prior to separation. Detailed instructions and forms can be obtained from the Judiciary Infonet. Below is a quick reference for your use in preparing for performance advisory meetings. I.
