Important Definitions • Critical element: work assignments or responsibilities of such importance that unacceptable performance on the element would result in a determination that the employee’s overall performance is unacceptable. Assessed only at the individual level.
Important Definitions • Progress review: communicating with an employee about performance to date compared to performance standards. One formal review is required; generally midway through appraisal period.
Important Definitions • Rating of record: the performance rating prepared at the end of an appraisal period.
