Annual Performance Evaluation Not Completed for CNA
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete an annual performance evaluation for one of eight sampled employees, a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA). During interviews, the CNA reported not receiving an annual performance evaluation in the previous year and could not recall the last time one was completed. A review of the CNA's employee file confirmed that the annual evaluation had not been conducted. The Director of Staff Development acknowledged the omission, stating that either the DSD or the DON was responsible for ensuring annual evaluations were completed. The facility's policy and procedure required that each employee's job performance be reviewed and evaluated at least annually, with the evaluation to coincide with the employee's compensation review.
