# Definitions

-   []{#Critical .anchor}*[Critical Element]{.underline}* -- A work
    assignment or responsibility of such importance that unacceptable
    performance in that element would result in a determination that an
    employee\'s overall performance summary rating is *Fails to Meet
    Expectations*. Such elements shall be used to measure performance
    only at the individual level \[5CFR 430.203\]

-   []{#Non_Critical .anchor}[*Non-critical Element*]{.underline} -- A
    dimension or aspect of individual, team, or organizational
    performance, exclusive of a critical element, that is used in
    assigning a performance summary level. Such elements may include,
    but are not limited to, objectives, goals, program plans, work
    plans, and other means of expressing expected performance. Failure
    on a non-critical element cannot be used as a basis for a
    performance-based adverse action nor can the employee's performance
    be summarized as *Fails to Meet Expectations* overall based on that
    failure \[5 CFR 430.203\]. Note -- non-critical does not mean not
    important.

[Performance Element Rating Levels]{.underline}

-   []{#Significantly .anchor}[*Significantly Exceeds
    Expectations*]{.underline} -- Performance that consistently exceeds
    the performance standard to an exceptional degree for the element.

-   []{#Meets1 .anchor}[*Meets or Exceeds Expectations*]{.underline} --
    A broad range of performance that at least fully meets or may exceed
    the performance standard and identified performance indicators for
    the element.

-   []{#Fails1 .anchor}*[Fails to Meet Expectations]{.underline}* --
    Performance that fails to meet the established performance standard
    and identified performance indicators for the element.

[Performance Summary Rating Levels]{.underline}

-   []{#Distinguished .anchor}[*Distinguished* (Level 5)]{.underline} --
    All rated critical and non-critical elements must be rated as
    "Significantly Exceeds Expectations."

-   []{#Meets2 .anchor}[*Meets or Exceeds Expectations* (Level
    3)]{.underline} -- All rated critical elements must be rated as
    "Meets or Exceeds Expectations."

-   []{#Fails2 .anchor}[*Fails to Meet Expectations* (Level
    1)]{.underline} -- Performance for any critical element that is
    rated "Fails to Meet Expectations."
