The Interim Performance Appraisal Process (dated 1 June 2021) states that “Performance appraisals for UTs who have been away for protected grounds during Academic Year 2020/21 will be completed, once a determination from TBS on the way forward is received.” However, some UTs on code-protected leave (e.g. maternity, parental, or medical leave) have received their increment letters indicating that they have been assessed as “satisfactory.” The CMCFA has confirmed that UTs on code-protected leave have not yet been assessed. According to the Principal,

“A FAR will not be finalized for those who were away for reasons of protected grounds until TBS direction is received. Based on HR advice, however, single increment pay action was taken for these individuals, until their performance appraisals can be finalized. This is so that those who are not at the ceiling will not be frozen in the meanwhile. Amendments to pay action will be processed as required.”

The CMCFA will continue to monitor this issue.
