Key Features • Four-Level Performance Appraisal System: • Significantly Exceeds Expectations • Meets Expectations • Needs Improvement • Fails to Meet Expectations • Standards Written at the “Meets Expectations” Level
Key Features (cont.) • Two to Five Critical Elements assigned variable weights to reflect their relative degree of importance: 1. Specific Job Responsibilities • One – Four Critical Elements • ORO – Mandatory Four Elements • Elements weighted 30, 30, 15, & 15 (ORO)
Key Features (cont.) 2. Employee Attributes – Critical Element • Five Attributes • Attribute 1 – Responsibility and Accountability • Attribute 2 – Communication • Attribute 3 – Teamwork • Attribute 4 – Innovation/Quality Improvements • Attribute 5 – Customer Service • All Attributes weighted at 2 points (ORO)
ORO Elements and Weights for Non-supervisory Employees • 4 Job-Specific Elements • Weights: 30, 30, 15, & 15 • Employee Attributes • Weights: All weighted at 2 points
Employee Responsibilities for Appraisal • Reporting on the status of assignments during the year, including any problems which may prevent their successful completion • Maintaining records on work outputs for use during progress reviews and appraisal
Rating/Reviewing Official Responsibilities • Provide subordinates opportunity for input to rating • Coordinate rating with reviewing official, other management, and HR as needed • Ratings MUST be concurred with by the reviewing official prior to discussion with employee • Conduct an appraisal meeting/discussion with the employee to provide the performance appraisal • Assure that the organization’s performance ratings correspond to organizational productivity or effectiveness
Assigning Weights to Critical Elements • Total weight assigned to all critical elements must equal 100 by using the following proportions: • Specific Job Responsibilities Critical Elements = 90 • Employee Attributes Critical Element = 10
Weights for Critical Elements • Weights were initially assigned during the plan development stage. • Weights may be adjusted, along with other related factors, during the progress review stage, consistent with Mgmt policy. • Weights may need to be re-distributed for the final performance rating if no opportunity to perform under one or more elements.
Weights for Critical Elements (cont) • Coordinate with HR before adjusting weights. • Weight for “unused” job specific element will be distributed to other job specific elements. • Weights for Attributes should not be redistributed.
Computing the Summary Performance Rating • Each Element has a numerical weighting • Each rating level has an assigned point value • Multiplying these gives score for each element • Similar “sub” process for Attributes • Add resulting #s to get a total • Total score dictates summary rating (unless an element was rated FME)
Computing the Summary Performance Rating (cont) • Element and Attribute Rating Levels and Assigned Point Values: • Significantly Exceeds Expectations (SE) = 1 point • Meets Expectations (ME) = .5 point • Needs Improvement (NI) = 0 points • Fails to Meet Expectations (FME) = Results in a Summary Rating of FME
Computing the Summary Performance Rating (cont.) Rating Levels: Point Ranges SE 80 - 100 ME 50 - 79 NI 49 and below FME any score with at least 1 critical element rated FME

Overall Performance Ratings Rating of 74.5 = 75 = ME (Ratings are rounded up) Rating Levels: Point Ranges SE 80 - 100 ME 50 - 79 NI 49 and below FME any score with at least 1 critical element rated FME
