The municipality adopted the amended individual Performance Management Policy during its ordinary council sitting on 30 June 2022. 

CHANGES IN CITY OF TSHWANE PERFORMANCE BONUSES

City of Tshwane Executive Mayor, Alderman Randall Williams said the revised policy seeks to ensure that staff members enter into an individual performance agreement contract at the beginning of each financial year based on approved job descriptions. 

Williams further said that the policy is aimed at driving a culture of high performance within the metro in order to improve services to residents. It will also serve to ensure that proper accountability is entrenched at individual level within departments. 

“The policy is applicable to all permanent and fixed-term contract employees of the City of Tshwane, except for senior and top management whose performance agreements are already in place. 

“The policy seeks to ensure that employees strive to achieve all their set key performance indicators over the course of the financial year by setting a benchmark of 100% achievement.”
