The following assessment should be completed for all supervisor / management employees near
the end of the annual review period. Before completing this performance feedback form, please
review the performance expectations and goals, and examples of related priority work as reviewed
during the planning session. Provide employee development feedback by citing specific examples
for each of the factors identified. Use additional paper, if appropriate.
Based on observations during the review period, rate the employee utilizing the following scale:
4 Fully DemonstratedPerformance factor was consistently demonstrated with no
significant exceptions.
3 Usually Demonstrated Performance factor was consistently demonstrated with only a
few significant exceptions.
2 Sometimes Demonstrated Performance factor was frequently demonstrated but with
several significant exceptions.
1 Seldom Demonstrated Performance factor was only occasionally demonstrated.
Not Applicable – Performance factor not applicable to employee’s job.
Remember! The purpose of your narrative comments is to describe behavior and results, not
evaluate it using words such as good, excellent, or poor. This can best be achieved by means of
specific, quantifiable examples. Put an “X” at the point on the scale which you believe best
represents the employee’s overall performance on that particular item. Mark “not applicable” if it
is determined that the performance factor does not apply to the duties of the subject employee
(Remember to reduce the number of factors when calculating the summary rating, if a factor is
omitted).

SUMMARY FEEDBACK
The employee’s summary feedback rating should be based on as much fact and first-hand observation of
performance as possible. Inflating a rating for the purpose of avoiding negative feedback or achieving a
potentially higher reward for the employee is neither desirable nor acceptable. The summary feedback rating
is the average of the applicable factors listed above (total points/number of applicable factors).
