If I am a Classified employee, how do I know my anniversary
date?
Your
anniversary date is six (6) months after the date you were hired.
Example:
If you were hired February 1, then your anniversary date would be
August 1. Employees are eligible for a 4% merit increase at that time,
along with their first performance evaluation (PPR). August 1 becomes
the anniversary date and you would be eligible every year at that
time for a merit increase and evaluation.
