Even though my annual evaluation was a good one, I was denied my annual raise.The reason given was that I did not accomplish my goal from last year by attending 8/12 staff meetings. I have repeatedly explained to my Department Head that I do not have daycare at the meeting times. Her suggestion was " Is't there some old grandma that would watch her for a while?" Our policy book only says that employees are paid for their attendance at departmental meetings. Employees will be paid for meetings they are required to go to. We recently had a required in-service. When I was not scheduled for any of them, I asked my Departmental Head why? Her reply was that I was working each time & I could watch the video. So much for equallity in the work place, she left 3 open shifts the last day of the in-service so staff could attend.
