8.1 Performance and Salary Reviews
Employee Performance Evaluations

nou Systems is committed to maintaining a team of experienced, capable, and motivated
individuals. Therefore, it is nou Systems’ policy to formally appraise the performance of all
employees on a regular basis. The performance evaluation highlights the strengths and areas for
improvement of individual employees so that adequate rewards or corrective action may be
taken. The employee performance evaluation is the primary basis for determining bonuses,
promotions, demotions, and other staffing actions.

The Employee Performance Evaluation Form will be completed by each employee and their
Supervisor. If the employee has questions and concerns about the evaluation that cannot be
resolved with the Supervisor, the next level of management should be consulted.

8.2 Salary Adjustments
It is nou Systems’ policy to review on an annual basis the salaries of all employees. Salary
adjustments may be prorated for less than one year of service. The adjustment will be prorated
to account for the fact that the employee’s salary has not been adjusted for more than one year.
