Appraisal interview
The university will hold an interview with you at least once a year, to discuss your performance and well-being. This is how the university monitors the quality and welfare of its employees.
Discussing performance
At least once a year, your immediate superior will meet with you to discuss your recent performance, how you will perform your job moving forward and your career plans. In this interview, you and your immediate superior will discuss your physical and mental well-being, your employability and your motivation. The ‘real task assignment’ theme will be discussed as of 2024 as well. This means the interview will also be used to discuss which tasks have been assigned to you and/or whether they fit within your contract scope. You and your employer will make choices in order to avoid the need for overtime (structural or otherwise) and stress. Agreements and personal development plans will also be recorded in writing and signed.
Assessment
Your supervisor will periodically assess your performance in your job. This assessment may form part of your appraisal interview, and will follow a fixed procedure. Part of this procedure requires you to read and confirm the assessment with your signature.
Doctoral students
If you are a doctoral student with a temporary employment contract at the university, you and your supervisor will draw up a study and supervision plan within three months of your starting the programme. At the end of your first year, this plan will be evaluated and modified as needed. It will set out the knowledge and skills you are expected to develop, who your doctoral thesis supervisor and general supervisor are, and the number of hours of personal supervision you are entitled to. Article 6.9 of the CAO outlines all of the applicable conditions.
