This may be a very silly question - but with my re-certification (ISO 9001:2008) coming up next week I wanted to ask to be safe...
Do employees HAVE to be evaluated annually?
I can not find that the standard says that - but I am almost positive one of my last auditors told me that we should be. I was under the impression that we were as well....
A little background - we are a medical plastics compounder. We have 9 extrusion lines - each extruder is different in its out-put, speed, technology, and size.
The way evaluations work for the operators of the extruders is:
When the Production Manager feels that the operator is proficient in operating an extruder - the employee is signed off. This bumps their pay level up. The more extruders a production employee masters, the higher pay they get.
But if an employee wants to stay on one extruder they will have the same pay until they learn another...
During this time, that employee will not be evaluated.... unless he wants to learn a new extruder...
Are we breaking any rules with this process?
Theoretically that employee could remain un-evaluated for years if he or she doesnt want to learn another line.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
