Who would you say is responsible?

[lilima]

Is it the employee or the managers responsibility to make a time for monthly supervision?

Is it the role of the manager to remind employees to submit monthly reports, or should staff be responsible to ensure they are done?

Should the manager send out a reminder for when time sheets are due?

Is it the responsibility of the manager to approach staff to make a time for a performance appraisal, or should staff be responsible to approach the manager to make a time?

Any thoughts would be welcome

Thanks

Is it the employee or the managers responsibility to make a time for monthly supervision? Manager

Is it the role of the manager to remind employees to submit monthly reports, or should staff be responsible to ensure they are done? If its part of the job then the employees should be doing this & submitting it on time. They are all grown ups & should know when they are due & have them ready

Should the manager send out a reminder for when time sheets are due? Again, if its the employees responiblity to have it done then there shouldn't be a need but it would be courteous to send a reminder I guess

Is it the responsibility of the manager to approach staff to make a time for a performance appraisal, or should staff be responsible to approach the manager to make a time? Mangers responsibility to make times with the staff.

Any thoughts would be welcome

Thanks

I agree with what Efjay said on each point

[Now we're 3]

Agree with Efjays answers to the points also. If required a timely reminder of the need to submit monthly reports could be issued.

[Bumperstump Cummerbund]

Yup, agree with Efjay

[nickle730]

Yep, I agree with all Efjay said too!

My thoughts without reading the other responses:

Is it the employee or the managers responsibility to make a time for monthly supervision? I'm not quite sure what is involved but my understanding of the word "supervision" would indicate that it's the manager's responibility.

Is it the role of the manager to remind employees to submit monthly reports, or should staff be responsible to ensure they are done? If it's the role of the employee to provide reports, then they should do so as a matter of course.

Should the manager send out a reminder for when time sheets are due? No as above.

Is it the responsibility of the manager to approach staff to make a time for a performance appraisal, or should staff be responsible to approach the manager to make a time? Either. Managers should ensure it is done on a timely basis as per the contract (for me this is annually). But if employees have issues or situations they need addressed, then there is no reason why they can't approach a manager for an interim meeting.

ETA: Apparently I agree with Efjay too
ETA2: As both employee and manager, it really annoys when I have to remind people to do things they know how to do and it also annoys me when my boss reminds me to do things before they are due without giving me a chance to do it first.

It really bugs me when managers play dumb about regular performance appraisals - I am far too shy to bring it up, even if I'm overdue for one. What's so hard about sticking a recurring appointment in Outlook, isn't it part of your job?!

[Rowellen]

I agree Keike! Delayed performance appraisals just create stress and uncertainty and make you think your boss is a stupid lazy git not worthy of your respect. Is it really so hard to find half an hour in June? Why mention it every second day while you're getting coffee but not actually do it until August despite repeated requests? Yes I have personal experience with this particular matter - he seriously spent more time telling me that we would have a performance review than it would have taken to just do it.

I am going to print & frame this, everyone agrees with me! WOOHOO!

Is it the employee or the managers responsibility to make a time for monthly supervision? - Manager

Is it the role of the manager to remind employees to submit monthly reports, or should staff be responsible to ensure they are done? - Depends on if its part of the employees job to do so.

Should the manager send out a reminder for when time sheets are due? - As above, it depends on if its the employees job description.

Is it the responsibility of the manager to approach staff to make a time for a performance appraisal, or should staff be responsible to approach the manager to make a time? - Managers responsibility to organise and conduct performance appraisals.

As an Executive Assistant to a Commonwealth Department head (and without reading the other replies)

Is it the employee or the managers responsibility to make a time for monthly supervision? We do half yearly reviews. I organise meetings for those concerned at the specified times (ie, March & October).

Is it the role of the manager to remind employees to submit monthly reports, or should staff be responsible to ensure they are done? Program managers are expected to submit their own monthly reports. If I notice that one has not been received, as I maintain the database, I will contact them on my manager's behalf.

Should the manager send out a reminder for when time sheets are due? Time sheets are to be submitted to your superviser at the end of each period. Overall it is the manager's responsibility, however employess are expected to submit them.

Is it the responsibility of the manager to approach staff to make a time for a performance appraisal, or should staff be responsible to approach the manager to make a time? See above, ours done twice-yearly.

Any thoughts would be welcome

As a hr manager I would say

Managers are responsible for scheduling supervision, employees are responsible for ensuring that they attend scheduled meetings

Monthly reports should be part of people's job responsibilities and whoever is responsible for producing them is responsible for ensuring they are done and circulated

Employees are responsible for keeping time sheets, managers need to get them igned off in time for payroll. If an employee can't remember to get a time sheet in then they don't get paid.

Managers should schedule appraisals, employees need to ensure they do their prep work and make time to attend.

Thank you everyone. I will be going into a meeting today. Your responses echoes exactly what I was thinking. I got publicly blasted at work yesterday for something to do with the above, that I didn't deserve.

That's not fair. I hope this helps you to sort out whatever the issue is

I agree completely with Efjay too!
