INSTRUCTIONS TO SUPERVISOR
1. Near the end of the evaluation period, return worksheet to employee for completion of Part II: Employee Worksheet for Performance Appraisal and
Rating. Give employee a reasonable deadline for its return to you. Completion of the worksheet is optional on the part of the employee. (At this time,
you may wish to give the employee a new Part I: Employee Worksheet for Performance Program for the next rating period, as well, a deadline for its
completion. This will ensure that the employee will have the opportunity for input into the new program, as well as insure that you have adequate time
to prepare the new program and give it to the employee in a timely manner.
2. Upon receipt of the employee's worksheet - Part II, (or after the deadline for its return has passed) complete Sections 1, 2, and 3, and submit to
reviewer with a recommended final rating. (Include employee's worksheet, Part II, if any.) Discuss evaluation and recommended rating with reviewer.
3. When reviewer approves final rating, supervisor and reviewer complete Section 4. (Rating is final only upon reviewers’ approval.)
4. Following approval by reviewer, establish a time for the appraisal interview. At this time, discuss performance evaluation with employee.
5. Have employee sign and date acknowledgment in Section 5. Give copy of evaluation to employee, retain a copy, and send original to Personnel
Office.

appropriate, to such activities as in-service training, part-time study, task force assignments, PUBLIC SERVICE TRAINING PROGRAM courses,

SATISFACTORY: This is a broad category which covers a wide range of employees, all of whom are performing acceptably. It is the expected and usual level
of performance. The employee generally meets performance expectations as specified in the performance program for all tasks and performs in a good and
competent manner. This is the level which can minimally be expected from an employee in order for the work unit to function effectively.
The employee's performance may also be characterized as meeting minimal performance expectations for the job yet there may be areas of performance which
should be improved. The employee may meet expectations for certain tasks or assignments, but some assignments may require extra follow-up and direction by
the supervisor. It is only when the employee's performance clearly shows that it is below the expected performance that a rating other than "Satisfactory" should
be considered.
NOTE: Because this rating covers a wide range of performance, supervisors may want to consider the length of time the employee has been in the
Job as appropriate (i.e., employees in the same job title may be performing satisfactorily but at different levels due to length of time and/or
experience on the job).
UNSATISFACTORY: The employee clearly does not meet performance expectations for one or more tasks, not even at a minimally acceptable level. The
employee requires significant extra direction, or the supervisor finds it necessary to avoid assigning normal tasks to the employee. The employee cannot be
relied upon to carry out critical assignments in a timely or effective fashion. There is a need for immediate and significant improvement in performance.
Appeal Rights:
Only ratings of Unsatisfactory are appealable. Disputes concerning such issues as an employee's performance program, and the rating
appeals process are not subject to appeal. Employees must file an appeal within 15 calendar days of the receipt of an UNSATISFACTORY rating. Appeal
forms and procedural information are available from your personnel office. Employees have the right to a personal appearance and to PEF-designated
representation before the Appeals Board.
