At the beginning of each performance cycle, employee and supervisor review key responsibilities (from the job description). The supervisor and
employee document specific responsibilities, with outcomes that describe how successful performance will be measured. Employee and
supervisor then assign a priority to each activity. These will be documented in Section I – Key Responsibilities. In addition, employee and
supervisor should discuss the Performance Factors and agree on how they apply to the employee’s work.
Ongoing communication regarding performance is expected, both in informal and formal settings throughout the year. Either the supervisor or
employee should feel free to initiate discussion of performance progress, expectations, priorities or obstacles.
At the end of each performance cycle, a formal review of achievements in relation to the performance standards is documented. This includes a
summary of employee performance during the performance cycle in relation to individual responsibilities and outcomes.
The following ratings are given to indicate how the employee has performed in relation to performance responsibilities and outcomes.

At the beginning of the performance cycle, employee and supervisor review key responsibilities from the employee’s job
description. The supervisor documents specific outcomes to be achieved, in a way that describes how successful performance will
be measured. Employee and supervisor then assign a “Priority” (Critical, Moderate or Routine/episodic) for each responsibility or
objective. The priority designation guides both employee and supervisor in monitoring activities relative to their importance to
the department. Employee and supervisor establish appropriate timeframes for regular performance feedback to monitor
progress toward achieving goals. Such timeframes may be As Needed, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, or Semi-annually, depending
on the nature of the activity.
It is expected that the employee and primary supervisor will meet throughout the performance cycle to review progress, identify
and resolve problems and modify this plan, if necessary. If there are changes (i.e., responsibilities, outcomes or priorities), they
should be noted on the performance log.
At the end of the year, the employee rates his or her own performance, and the supervisor rates the employee’s performance,
using the rating scale. The purpose of the self-evaluation is to encourage dialogue around performance outcomes and related
issues. This provides the basis for discussion between the employee and supervisor about accomplishments and issues that
affected performance. Following the discussion, the supervisor determines the “Final Rating” for each objective, considering the
employee’s self-evaluation, the relative priority of the objective and other relevant factors.

Section I Total Rating: ______________ (Add “Final Ratings” for each responsibility, then divide by total number of responsibilities assigned)
The following factors are important indicators of the skills and abilities an employee brings to the performance of his or her duties. In addition to
evaluating key responsibilities and performance objectives, these performance factors help to assess total performance. At the beginning of the
annual performance cycle, supervisors and employees identify expectations for successful performance. These performance expectations may
be explained in the “Comments” section.
At the end of the annual performance cycle, the supervisor rates the degree -- 1 (Below Standards/Expectations), 2 or 3 (Meets Expectations) or
4 or 5 (Exceeds Expectations) -- to which the employee reflects these characteristics in the regular performance of his/her duties. Please use
specific examples and comments to illustrate your rating.
