The Classified Evaluation System has been moved from JPLS to Skyward. The evaluations will be accessed from Skyward Employee Access. Classified employees will no longer be required to complete a self-evaluation. Evaluators will begin the evaluation process and will complete the process by meeting with the employee to review and electronically sign the evaluation. Once the evaluation process is complete, the employee and evaluator will receive a confirmation email. A set of step-by-step instructions is included and will also be available from the JES website. For technical questions, contact the Information Systems Help Desk at 801-567-8737; otherwise, contact the JES Office at 801-567-8369. A schedule of work sessions to review the evaluation process is also included.
