IT’S PPR TIME AGAIN – IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER

Members should be aware of several important points about a PPR:

1) Your signature only means that the contents of the PPR have been read and discussed, it does not mean that you agree with the contents.  An employee can refuse to sign the PPR, however, it will still be completed, probably with a note from the supervisor about the refusal to sign and placed on the employee’s personal file.

2) Each employee is entitled to attach written comments to the PPR.  These comments should be started under the Employee Certification section of the PPR and continued on a separate piece of paper if necessary.  Neither your supervisor nor the Reviewing Officer has the right to change any comments made in the written attachments.  This is the employee’s document and cannot be adjusted without the employee’s consent.

3) Each employee is entitled to complete the Career Aspirations sections.  As with the employee comments, this section cannot be amended or changed by the supervisor or the Reviewing Officer.

4) Each employee is entitled to receive a copy of all versions of the PPR, including the last signed version with all attached comments.

5) The AS, AD and the new OP collective agreements all contain language regarding the PPR process.  We are tabling similar proposals for the CS,PG and TO agreements. 

6) The lack of language in the collective agreement does not alter the rights and entitlements outlined above.
