A Performance Review Task will appear under your “Task (Action Required)” list and is an outstanding item that requires action within a certain timeframe. There are 3 kinds of Performance Review Tasks for both University and Classified Staff: the coaching session task, the performance planning task, and the final year-end evaluation task. A Performance Plan is what you create at the beginning of a performance cycle and contains a particular number of goals, job duties, or competencies; progress of these items can be tracked and updated throughout the year. Eventually, the Performance Review Tasks will require you to either create, reflect, or evaluate these Performance Plan items.
