For example, <br />if an employee began work on July 15, 1990, the WPPR <br />Review Date is July 15 in succeeding years. If the <br />employee is promoted February 2, 1992, the employee's <br />WPPR Review Date changes to February 2 in succeeding <br />years. <br />Effective Date <br />Any merit increase is effective on the pay period <br />beginning date following the employee's WPPR Review <br />Date. If an employee's WPPR Review Date falls on the <br />pay period beginning date, the merit increase is <br />effective on that pay period beginning date. <br />Process <br />The department head reviews each performance review <br />under WPPR and recommends to the County Manager the <br />employees to receive the merit increase. The WPPR <br />Evaluation form and the completed workplan are <br />submitted along with the merit increase recommendation <br />to the Personnel Department and become a part of the <br />employee's personnel file. <br />Any Outstanding Achievement award requires the advance <br />approval of the County Manager, upon written <br />recommendation of the department head. <br />
