A new contract was ratified June 21, 2017.
Supervisor's Guide to Performance Management for AFSCME Employees
The Leadership Collaboration Group has developed a guide for supervisors of staff who are covered by the AFSCME collective bargaining agreement. The document was created to provide support to supervisors and to encourage consistent practices across the university.
The document is accessible to AFSCME supervisors and requires logging in with your U-M account.
