UPE brought up additional concerns regarding assigning event data to Courtroom Clerks. The Court agreed to postpone any change while they conduct additional review of the process. The parties will meet in January to discuss the issue again. In the meantime, there should be no change to the current practice. UPE thanks all the members who reached out with their feedback about this change.

UPE and the Court also reviewed the Court’s plans to move to an electronic performance evaluation. The content of the evaluation will remain largely unchanged except for some consolidation of fields. The Court is also adding an employee feedback form that would be completed as part of the process. This form is entirely voluntary. The Court was also planning to remove the three-month evaluation for non-competitive promotions. UPE objected and argued that these formalized check-ins provide valuable reassurance that an employee is doing well. The Court agreed to maintain a formal check-in but is going to streamline the form.

UPE thanks Lacy Rees for her advocacy during this meeting.
