Formatted: Heading 1
910.01             Objective:  Management will evaluate employee work performance.       Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
The performance evaluation process will include performance goals and expectations that      Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial, Bold
reflect the organization's objectives. 
Formatted: Font: Bold
The performance evaluation  process  gives supervisors an opportunity to  discuss
performance goals and expectations with their employees, assess and review their
performance with regard to those goals, and expectations, and provide support to
employees in their professional development, so that skills and abilities can be aligned with
the department's requirements. 
To recognize employee accomplishments and address performance issues in a timely
manner, discussions between the employee and the supervisor will occur throughout the
evaluation period. Such discussions will be documented in the supervisor's file.

Performance evaluations in conjunction with seniority will be considered for promotion from
relief driver to full or part-time driver.
910.02             Evaluation Process:  Employee work performance will be evaluated at
completion of his or her probationary period and at least annually thereafter.  Prior to
preparing the employee's evaluation, the employee's supervisor will solicit input from other
supervisors. This input will be considered by the supervisor for inclusion in the evaluation. 
Immediate supervisors will meet with employees to discuss performance goals and
expectations. Employees will receive copies of their performance goals and expectations at
the beginning of the review period as well as notifications of any modifications made during
the review period. 
The supervisor will discuss the evaluation with the employee.  The employee will have the
opportunity to provide feedback on the evaluation. The discussion may include such topics
as: 
Reviewing the employee's performance; 
Identifying ways the employee may improve his or her performance; 
Identifying performance goals and expectations for the next appraisal period; and 
Identifying employee training and development needs. 
The performance evaluation process will include performance evaluation forms used by the
Employer, the employee's written signature acknowledging receipt of the forms, and any
comments by the employee.  The evaluation, including the employee comments, will be
considered by the manager who shall review all evaluations.  Once completed and signed
by the manager, a copy will be provided to the employee (with manager comments, if any)
who may provide responsive comments to be attached to the evaluation.  The original
performance evaluation forms, including the employee's comments will be maintained in the
employee's personnel file. 
This Article and the content of the performance evaluations may be grieved through Step 3
of the grievance process; employees may also provide a written rebuttal for inclusion in their
personnel file.

Formatted: Centered
Congratulations for being selected as a Mentor in our training program. You will be a partner with a          Formatted: Left
new driver to help them through their first two to three days of driving and a support to answer               Formatted: Font: 11 pt
questions and continue to guide them through their continued employment with the Port.
As a Mentor, you will be expected to: 
Be a good example of a safe and skillful driver                                                      Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial, 11 pt
Demonstrate proper procedures 
Model exceptional customer service 
Be positive and supportive 
Exhibit professionalism in your conversations and interactions 
Be available to answer questions and offer suggestions 
Formatted: Font: 11 pt
Each trainee will have completed their classroom and behind the wheel sessions with the trainers.
The trainee will be assigned to two or three days with a mentor depending on their comfort and skill
level. You may be assigned to work with one trainee during their entire mentorship program, a portion
or portions of their program, or perhaps different trainees for a portion and/or portions of the program. 
The first day with your trainee: 
Meet them and run them through sign in procedures                                              Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial, 11 pt
If you have time, check e-mail and bulletin boards 
Radio in and Pre-trip your bus together (you only have to fill out the VIR once) 
Drive the route for several rounds and demonstrate your driving and customer service skills.
Share your announcements, radio procedures, canned recording, etc. 
Let the trainee take over and be available to help if they seem uncertain 
You may swap driving during the day but make sure they have most of the driving time 
At the end of the day, radio off, run through post trip, check e-mail, boards, read and sign the
feedback form (see below) and sign off
Formatted: Font: 11 pt
You want them to get comfortable with the route and bus and the operational procedures. Let them
develop their own skills and "style". It took time for you to memorize the airlines and develop your
announcements so allow them to build their skills a little at a time. Give a lot of compliments and
make suggestions if it is needed. 
Throughout the day, fill out the feedback form to document what you covered and what situations
occurred during the shift. Share the positive skills the trainee demonstrated and any other
suggestions. Share this with the driver at the end of the day and both of you sign and date the form at
the bottom. Allow the new driver to write comments, concerns or feedback on their experience on the
bottom of the form. Turn it in to the training supervisor to document your time.

Re:   Aviation Maintenance Vehicle Fleet--"Telematics" 
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), made effective as of the date of execution, is
entered into by and between Teamsters Local Union No. 117 (Union) and the Port of Seattle,
referred to herein collectively as the Parties. 
The parties have met and discussed the installation and intended use of telematics1 across
most, if not all, of the fleet that is maintained by the Aviation Maintenance Department
including, but not limited to, Port owned vehicles operated by employees in this bargaining
unit. 
The parties have agreed as follows: 
Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
1.  Telematics is primarily intended to provide the Port of Seattle with the tools                Formatted: Numbered + Level: 1 +
necessary to achieve the following objectives:                                             Numbering Style: 1, 2, 3,  + Start at: 1 +
Alignment: Left + Aligned at: 0.5" + Indent at:
0.75"
Reductions in carbon emissions 
Reductions in fuel costs 
Reductions in maintenance events 
Streamlining maintenance 
Strategic vehicle/asset dispatching 
Improved customer service 
Improvements in both compliance and safety
2.  The Parties agree that the Port will not randomly or routinely review the telematics         Formatted: Numbered + Level: 1 +
data solely for disciplinary purposes, or as part of targeted surveillance for "fishing."        Numbering Style: 1, 2, 3,  + Start at: 1 +
Alignment: Left + Aligned at: 0.5" + Indent at:

1 Telematics is a fleet management technology system that provides the Port's fleet management teams with
information and data in real time relative to the status, condition, use, and location of the vehicles to which it is
installed.

Limitations of Translatable Documents

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
