Valuing Individual Performance (VIP)

Illinois State University’s Valuing Individual Performance program fosters employee commitment to the University’s mission through encouragement and coaching.  When an employee’s performance is not at a fully acceptable level, the program helps to correct the behavior through increasing levels of discussions that are documented and made a part of the employee’s personnel record.

Who it Covers

VIP applies to all Civil Service employees of Illinois State University except those covered by the AFSCME 1110 bargaining unit.  AFSCME 1110 employees are covered under their Contractual Discipline Process.  Both processes are covered in this section. 

The list of categorized violations is not an exhaustive list; however it represents the most common types of violations that have occurred.

Probationary Civil Service employees

Civil Service employees that have not achieved regular status in any class may be terminated at any time during their probationary period without the right to appeal or grieve such action.. The probationary period is a trial period of time to determine whether the employee should earn regular status in the class. For discipline issues with probationary employees, you should contact your HR Partner.
