I feel I have been treated unfairly in my annual performance review. Is there anything I can do?

Depending on the nature of the injustice many possibilities exists:

• Art.5 protects employees against unfair applications of the employer’s policies. APS has then the right to submit to a neutral third party, wrongful applications of the employer’s directives to its own managers. Read carefully the directives concerning performance evaluation and file a grievance if you are the victim of an injustice.

• Art.10 deals with performance review specifically while art 11 and 12 cover the related topics on training and career planning. In the absence of collaboration from your supervisor, file a grievance within two weeks of the event giving rise to the complaint. You have the choice to involve your union or not. Our agreement leaves the choice to the employee; but remember that you need your union if the matter is not resolved as a result of this first step. Art. 19 deals with grievances.
