Collective Agreement

Article 31: Evaluations

Within two (2) weeks of receiving the evaluations, the rotation supervisor shall schedule a meeting with the Resident in order to review the evaluation in person and to present the Resident an opportunity for feedback.

Interpretation Close

I don’t agree with my evaluation. Do I have to sign it?

Signing your evaluation doesn’t signify agreement. It simply means the evaluation has been discussed with you.  Significant concerns should be addressed. You are in fact entitled to appeal your evaluations. But first, discuss your concerns with your supervisor. If you are unable to obtain resolution at that stage, or if you are uncomfortable doing so, request a meeting with your program director. If you still believe your concerns have not been addressed, contact PAR-BC.

If you disagree with your evaluation but choose not to appeal, at minimum append a written rebuttal to the evaluation. This ensures that both documents are placed in your file.

I have been placed on probation and I don’t agree with the decision. Do I have any options?

It depends on your particular set of circumstances. Contact PAR-BC immediately.

Am I entitled to representation in any “disciplinary” meetings with my program?

Yes. Contact PAR-BC.
