You must create a performance plan for a new position or to obtain a 'snapshot' of an employee current performance.
Principle:
Title of supervisor, it is very important to establish performance for each employee requirements and manage the performance of employees. Performance appraisal is very important for the career of an employee of the federal public service. They are used in a variety of important ways. For example, performance ratings are reflected during a reduction in force (RIF). A performance rating is also a factor in selection of the promotion and to determine who will receive a performance bonus. A performance rating provides a basis for adverse action due to poor performance, can result in a reduction in grade or even withdrawal of the federal service. In short, the performance rating that you give an employee may have a major impact on the career of the employee. In addition, employees have the right to know how they are performing. Accordingly, establish performance requirements and evaluate the employee's performance is a work that needs to be taken seriously. See specific guidelines in respect of the performance management.
Where should I start?
Performance requirements must be specified as a performance plan adapted to the position and tasks of each employee. Given that all employees are bound by the regulations of the Government all have a performance plan, plans already exist for positions within your organization. However, although plans exist, they need to be reviewed and reissued every year, even if no changes are necessary.
If there is no pre-established plan, work with your specialist in the management of human resources that can help you develop a plan, often relying on existing performance plans for similar positions elsewhere in the organization.
Given that this document is to clarify for you and the employee, the work to be done for the year, get as much input as possible employee. Greater participation of employees leads to the employee a greater 'buy' objectives and tasks. Some organizations have specific procedures or suggested in policy or collective bargaining unit agreements texts that provide guidance on obtaining employee participation. Check with your SHRO to see if one exists for your organization.
Rules and elements of flexibility:
Requirements of the entire Government and the USDA policy provide that employees should be assessed on an annual basis. The results of the evaluation process should be used as basis for training, reward, reassignment, promotion, reduction in grade, retaining or removing employees. Employees must exercise their functions under the standards and elements of performance established during a minimum time before they can be assessed. USDA agencies have flexibility to adjust this minimum period, but in no case may be less than 60 days. Time limits may also be negotiated and included in the collective bargaining unit agreement. Standard delays in agencies of the FFAS are usually 90 days, but check with your SHRO to see what is the minimum time for your agency in your location also see specific advice in respect of the performance management.
Basic steps:
• Identify the main responsibilities of the post called elements of performance. (See "Glossary"). In general, performance of two to five items are appropriate. Some agencies have generic and/or necessary elements for you to use or adapt.
• Determine which elements of performance are so important to any unacceptable in any of these items would be overall unacceptable performance by the employee. These are considered as 'critical '. Some critical elements may be necessary. For example, the Department may require that a diversity element is necessary for all the its management and supervisory employees. Check with your SHRO for all the requirements of your organization.
• Develop or revise existing performance (known as performance standards) for each element requirements. These describe how well an employee must perform each element of performance in terms of quality, quantity, mode of performance and speed. In USDA, the non-SES employees, agencies are allowed to have standards of performance in two or five levels of assessment. For organizations that use five levels of assessment, standards are generic and cannot be changed. However, a Manager may supplement them with more specific standards. Agencies using two levels of evaluation have developed generic standards tailored to their own unique rating system. Some of these organizations that allow additional standards. Consult your SHRO to see what system uses your agency.
• Communicate final performance elements and standards (performance plans) to each employee. Make sure that you and your employees understand what is expected and procedures to the assessment process. The plan must be signed (perhaps electronic in some organizations) by the Manager and the employee, even if it has not changed since the last evaluation round. In most agencies, plans must also be approved by the second-level supervisor.
• Plans should benefit employees, within 30 days of the beginning of the evaluation period, or within 30 days after the transfer to a new position.
• Client course at least once during the evaluation round (mid) and document the meeting on the assessment form. Some organizations need more insight into progress.
• At the end of the assessment, assess (rate) each employee using the standards established to assess how each element was made. Sides below "fully successful" (or "meets or exceeds expectations" in two-level systems) must always be justified individually.
• Provide assessments completed for consideration and approval by shall provide it appropriate revision (normally its second line supervisor). Some shoulder with two levels of systems requires only the sides below the ' meeting / exceed expectation ' to consider. If necessary, final document cannot be presented or discussed with the employee ntil reviewed, approved and signed by shall provide it appropriate management of higher levels.
• Conduct additional examinations throughout the year to facilitate communication with your employees. At any time during the evaluation period when performance on any critical element is less than "fully successful" or "meeting / exceeds expectations ', you should discuss with the employee performance and take the necessary measures to provide assistance. However, at any time performance of an employee is regarded as 'unacceptable' or 'below meets or exceeds expectations' in one or more essential elements, specific requirements exist, and help to improve this performance must be provided. In this situation, refer to the Section "How to deal with any unacceptable an employee?" and consult your SHRO.
Necessary forms:
Elements of performance and standards are recorded on forms of evaluation of standardized performance or i * CAMS.
Turnaround times:
Most organizations have an October 1 to September 30 evaluation cycle. New performance plans should be developed and communicated to employees within 30 days of the beginning of a cycle. Each employee must receive at least a biannual review and receive a final evaluation within 30 days of the end of the cycle. Check with your SHRO to know the deadlines for your organization for mid-year exams.
Best management practices:
• Maintain a current file, documenting the work of the employee throughout the year.
•
Give employees regular and frequent feedback.
•
While managers are only required to give employees course clients once a consideration of an item median progress year and conduct, quarterly reviews of midpoint are recommended.
•
In the development of additional performance standards (additional and more precise), insofar as possible, to ensure that they are measurable and address performance rather than driving.
•
Modify the performance plan when guarantee working conditions. Don't forget, before you can evaluate your employee, the employee must have completed under the plan's performance during a minimum time (usually 90 days).

• Every three years, career employees are also subject to a process called "re-certification", whereby during the previous three years, the performance is evaluated and a decision is made to retain or to separate the employee of the its. Recertification is andled at the same time, the annual rate of return is given using criteria prescribed by OPM (these criteria are described in a plan for the renewal of certification - across the Department made available to supervisors and employees towards the end of the cycle rating during the renewal of certification).
