Classified employees are faced with varying issues and advocacy 

concerns everyday in all environments. Members seeking guidance 

within the advocacy process may find this page resourceful.

For specific questions or concerns, please contact your site 

representative, otherwise please refer to this 'Advocacy Flow Chart':

When an employee is faced with an issue or seeks counsel from CEA, 

the designated CEA Representatives may choose to use the 'Advocacy 

Intake Form' in order to assist the employee member. The Advocacy 

Intake Form can serve as a reference point for the respected parties, 

should legalities become involved.

Our members' privacy is of the upmost importance in upholding the 

integrity and professionalism of the Association. Therefore, all 

information provided by members should remain CONFIDENTIAL. 

Contact CEA President, Vanessa Jimenez, for any further questions or 

concerns.

I'm being evaluated, do I need my representative present during the evaluation and MUST I sign the 

evaluation?

No, although one may choose to have a 

CEA Representative present upon 

request, it is not required. 

Per the CEA Professional Agreement, 

Sec. 19-C, xii: 

The employee must be given an 

opportunity to sign and date the 

Performance Rating Report (PRR) upon completion of the Evaluation 

Conference (EC), as determined by the evaluator. The employee’s signature i

ndicates only that the employee has 

seen the form and that it has been 

discussed with her/him by the 

evaluator. If an employee refuses to 

sign and/or date the evaluation, then 

the evaluator shall:

a) Enter an initialed note of the 

employee’s refusal on the evaluation 

form.

b) Have a witness sign the note.
