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
