* All USS employees will be evaluated in CEEDS for the current shortened review period ending Feb. 28. The new annual cycle for USS employees begins on March 1. The planning phase for this annual evaluation will also be completed in CEEDS. This study requires all USS and UP employees to complete a Job Analysis Questionnaire (JAQ) describing their current job duties. CBIZ will evaluate information submitted on the JAQs and will give recommendations to the university, which could result in changes to position descriptions that will be used in the new performance evaluation system.
