Performance Management for Selma employers
Two failures show up over and over: nobody documented the problem until the day they wanted to terminate, and the annual review said 'meets expectations' for three years running. Both make a defensible separation nearly impossible.
We build a performance system your managers will actually run, clear expectations, a cadence that fits your business, honest documentation, and then coach them through the first cycle rather than handing over a template.
We work with employers around downtown Second Street and Highland Avenue, out through the industrial area and the packing and drying operations spread across the surrounding grape country. Mostly family owned, mostly under a hundred people, all facing the same California requirements as anyone larger.
What drives this work here
These are the situations Selma employers actually call about. Each one is a reason performance management gets engaged rather than postponed.
A harvest window measured in weeks
Raisin harvest is the tightest labor window in the Valley. Crews arrive, work intensely and leave, and the intake paperwork for all of them has to be right the first time because there is no second pass.
Piece rate that does not add up
California piece rate rules require separate paid rest periods and specific wage statement detail. Most piece rate systems we review in Selma were designed before those rules and have never been revisited.
Family businesses with no HR at all
A large share of employers here are family run with no HR function whatsoever. Every employment decision sits with an owner who is also running the operation, and there is rarely anyone to check the call against.
Everything included in Performance Management
Identical in Selma as everywhere else we work. Nothing is held back for a larger tier.
What shapes HR risk in Selma
Generic policy fails here for specific reasons. These four conditions drive most of what we find when we audit a Fresno County employer for the first time.
Selma is the center of the raisin industry, and the drying and packing calendar drives nearly all local seasonal employment.
The critical labor window is measured in weeks rather than months, leaving no room to correct paperwork after the fact.
Piece rate pay is widespread and carries specific California requirements for rest period compensation and wage statements.
Most employers are family owned with no dedicated HR, so decisions are made by owners without a second opinion available.
Four steps, start to finish
The same sequence every time, run in Selma exactly as it is anywhere else.
Define Expectations
What good looks like in each role, in terms a manager can actually assess.
Design The Cycle
Cadence, forms and documentation standard, sized to your business rather than to a template.
Train Managers
Practice on the conversation itself, which is where most systems fail.
Run The First Cycle
We run it with you, then hand over a process that has been proven once.
What drives the price in Selma
Quoted after a scoping call, so you see the number before you commit. There is no travel surcharge for Selma.
Headcount And Layers
More people and more management layers mean more process to design and more managers to train.
Existing Process
An existing cycle that mostly works is cheaper to fix than to replace.
Manager Training
Coaching your managers to run it properly can be included or left with your team.
We do not publish rates because a figure without a scope is meaningless. Call (559) 334-5546 and we will tell you what your situation costs.
What Selma employers say
Our piece rate system was set up by my father and had never been reviewed against the current rules. They found three problems and fixed all of them before harvest.
We take on a lot of people in a very short time and the paperwork was always a scramble. Now there is one process and our leads run it without me standing over them.
I am the owner, the HR department and the person who fixes the forklift. Having an HR advisor to call before I act has been worth every dollar.

Performance Management in Selma, answered
Not necessarily. Quarterly check-ins with light documentation work better for many Central Valley employers than one heavy annual review nobody prepares for. We recommend a cadence based on your size and turnover.
