The Performance Plan Sample Clauses

The Performance Plan. The performance plan is determined by the supervisor. The steps to writing a performance plan include: A. Identifying two to five critical elements, considering the organizational strategic goals, function, responsibilities, priorities, and the position description. Critical elements are for individual performance only and affect the employee's summary rating. Additional elements are optional and may be used to review group performance. Additional elements do not affect the summary rating. All elements are rated O, EE, FS, MS, or U. B. Using Fully Successful performance standard for each critical element. The fully successful performance standard is derived from the agency benchmark standard with elaboration or clarification as appropriate. C. Performance plans must permit the accurate evaluation of job performance. To the extent feasible performance plans should utilize objective criteria related to the positions and grade level in question. These criteria must be written into the performance plan and be shared with the employee. D. Performance standards must be specific, observable, measurable and appropriate to the employee’s position description (inclusive of grade level). The performance standard must provide a clear means of assessing whether objectives have been met. E. Performance plans will be applied in a fair manner for all employees with substantially similar critical elements, performance measures and with similar working conditions, with particular attention to employees performing the same job in the same work unit. To the extent practical performance plans for employees with similar critical elements, performance measures and working conditions should be substantially similar.
