this morning if he would get his increase in this next pay check, he said "Don't hold your breath." Mr. Thomas stated that he was then led to believe that he might not even be getting any increase because of the fact that his rating was knocked down. Chairman Scurlock stated that he again would recommend that a grievance be filed. Mr. Halliday noted that he did not find out that he may not be getting an increase before he signed his evaluation, and asked if it is too late to file a grievance. Discussion continued re Mr. Halliday's evaluation being whited out and changed, and Chairman Scurlock asked if that could be caused by the department head disagreeing with the approach the evaluator takes. He noted that had happened to him in the school system where someone said whoever evaluated him was just too liberal. Paul Peck asked if the Chairman felt that is a good approach to an evaluation, and the Chairman stated he was not saying it was a good approach but that he knew it has happened. Commissioner Bird asked the Administrator if that is our procedure, and Administrator Wright confirmed that can happen, but if someone is dissatisfied, they should talk to someone about it. Mr. Cochran noted that the same thing happened to him; his evaluation was changed and lowered. Chairman Scurlock asked the Administrator to check on this, but the Administrator pointed out that we have a contract and if people have a grievance, they need to follow that procedure. The Chairman clarified that he was not talking about their specifics; -he just wanted the Administrator to check the evaluation procedure and how it is being implemented. The Administrator confirmed that he would take a look at it. Commissioner Bird felt if we have department heads who feel the supervisors under them are rating their employees too high, then -they really ought to talk to that supervisor and change 19 BOOK 63 pt'H 709 FEB 19 1�II�
