Comments:
If the supervisor’s employee evaluations are fair and just in awarding and providing pay for performance bonuses then the results should not be a secret. Employees need to see what standard of performance merits monetary reward, so they can emulate that type of quality performance. Since it is part of the public record under the FOIA there is no need to keep things “hush-hush”, and could actually be used to encourage and motivate outstanding performance among other employees since it would be clear what management thinks and what standards of performance levels are rewarded. I can only believe and conclude that the focus on keeping “bonuses” secret from other employees is to hide management decisions that cannot be justified as fair.
