The term “PERFORMANCE” is both
distinguishing and similar to the term
“PRODUCTIVITY”:
• The annual performance appraisal shall use a 5-level rating scale for reporting overall
performance. A rating at the midpoint of the scale shall indicate that an employee’s
performance has met expectations.
• supervisors shall discuss the appraisals with their employees. Both supervisor and
employee shall sign and date the completed performance appraisal indicating that the
discussion has taken place.
ADDRESSING POOR PERFORMANCE
When an employee’s performance falls below
expectations at any time during the performance
cycle:
• The supervisor shall document the performance that falls short of
expectations by preparing a corrective action plan or other
documentation. The documentation will specify (a) the performance
problem, (b) the steps to be taken to improve performance, including
the timeframe for improvement, (c) the consequences of failure to
improve, and (d) a follow-up date.
• Probationary employees shall have work plans within a certain number of days of their
date of employment. To remove an employee from probationary status, the supervisor
shall provide performance documentation, as per the policy, that the probationary
employee’s performance is at minimum meeting expectations.
• Employees whose responsibilities are changed substantially, either within their current
position or by transfer (promotion, lateral transfer, or demotion), shall have work plans
established within a certain number of days (set by the agency) following the new
assignment.
• When an employee transfers from one site to another or from corporate office to site
and vice versa, the releasing department/site/office shall send to the receiving
department/site/office performance documentation summarizing the employee’s
performance from the last appraisal up to the date of transfer. This performance
documentation shall be provided before the employee’s first day with the receiving
department/site/office. The receiving supervisor may use this performance
documentation when completing the employee’s end-of-cycle appraisal.
• When an supervisor leaves a work unit, the next-level supervisor shall ensure that
performance documentation concerning the employees supervised by the departing
supervisor is made available to the employees’ new supervisor.
