**EPCS Performance Planning and
Appraisal**![](media/image2.wmf){width="0.6638888888888889in"
height="0.6548611111111111in"}

**Instructions, Requirements, and Guidelines**

**[OVERVIEW]{.underline}** - The NASA Employee Performance Communication
System (EPCS) establishes a systematic process for planning, monitoring,
developing, assessing, and rewarding employee performance that
contributes to achieving the Agency\'s Vision, mission, and goals. The
EPCS ensures alignment with the Agency\'s goals, promotes a performance
culture that focuses on two-way communication and accountability for
results, and clearly differentiates between high and low performers.

**[PERFORMANCE PLANNING]{.underline}** - The Rating Official (usually
the immediate supervisor) must meet with the employee to discuss the
performance requirements for the appraisal period and give the employee
an opportunity to provide input to his/her performance plan. The plan
must include at least two critical elements - a
Program/Project/Functional Objective element specific to the position
and a standard Supervisory Competencies element. A critical element is 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 Unacceptable \[5 CFR
430.203\]. An additional critical or non-critical element(s) may be
identified at the discretion of the Rating Official. A non-critical
element is a dimension or aspect of individual, team, or organizational
performance, exclusive of a critical element, that is used in assigning
a performance summary rating level. 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 \"Unacceptable\" overall
based on that failure \[5 CFR 430.203\]; however, non-critical does not
mean not important. Performance standards must be written at the Meets
Expectations performance level. Both the Rating Official and the
employee must sign the plan.

**[Program/Project/Functional Objective]{.underline}** -The primary work
assignment or responsibility of the employee that supports the
achievement of an Agency strategic goal(s) should be identified as the
Program/Project/Functional Objective and will be the critical element
that holds an employee accountable for achieving measurable results.
This objective must address the following:

**[Alignment]{.underline}** - In accordance with Figure 4.3.2-1 of NPD
1000, Strategic Management and Governance Handbook, the employee\'s
performance plan must show the linkage to projects up through the
Agency\'s strategic goals/objectives (i.e., individual performance plan
projects programs annual performance goals performance outcomes
strategic goals/objectives). Therefore, the plan must identify at least
one annual performance goal (APG) and/or organizational performance goal
related to the APG to which the employee will contribute. The goal(s)
should follow the performance plans of the chain of authority within the
organization (i.e., from senior executive to manager to supervisor to
employee). Alignment should be obvious; however, it is the
responsibility of the Rating Official to ensure that the employee
understands how his/her performance supports the achievement of the
Agency\'s goals/objectives.

**[Measurable Results]{.underline}** - Performance standards are
statements of performance thresholds, requirements, or expectations
written at the Meets Expectations performance level, commensurate with
the knowledge and skills required for the position. Standards
communicate what an employee has to do or achieve to meet the
performance element. Performance standards should be described in terms
of clear, credible measures of performance and identify the expected
results/accomplishments (not activities or tasks). General measures of
performance are:

> *Quality* - How well work is performed and/or how accurate or how
> effective the service or final product is.
>
> *Quantity* - How much work is produced (can be expressed as an error
> rate, such as a number or percentage of errors allowable per unit of
> work).
>
> *Timeliness* - How quickly, when, or by what date the work is
> produced; however, a timeliness measure must not be absolute leaving
> no margin for error.
>
> *Cost-effectiveness* - Dollar savings to the Government or working
> within a budget (may include such aspects as maintaining or
>
> reducing costs, reducing time it takes to produce a product or
> service, or reducing waste).

These general measures of performance must be further defined and must
be **SMART**:

> **S**pecific - What is being measured (i.e., the expected result) is
> easily understood.
>
> **M**easurable - A target can be established; data to support the
> metric is available and quantifiable.
>
> **A**ggressive yet Achievable - The target, established at the Meets
> Expectations performance level, is challenging and significant but not
> so challenging that it is not really achievable.
>
> **R**esults oriented - Identifies the expected accomplishments (a
> product or service) described as a noun (not an activity or task
>
> described as a verb).
>
> **T**ime based - Identifies a specific time frame for the achievement
> of the target.

**[Supervisory Competencies Element]{.underline}** - The performance
standards identified are those management competencies for senior
executives that are applicable to a supervisory position. They cannot be
modified; however, if it is determined that a performance standard for a
specific competency is not applicable to the supervisor, it should be so
identified during the performance planning stage and justified with a
narrative explanation in the comments block.

Appraisal**![](media/image2.wmf){width="0.6638888888888889in"
height="0.6548611111111111in"}

**Instructions, Requirements, and Guidelines**

**[PROGRESS REVIEW]{.underline}** - At a minimum, one progress review
must be conducted during the appraisal period, generally midpoint in the
period; however, a progress review may be initiated at any time during
the appraisal period by either the Rating Official or the employee. The
primary purpose of the review is to discuss the employee\'s performance
to date; provide feedback on his/her progress in accomplishing the
performance requirements described in the performance plan; and provide,
when necessary, advice and assistance on how to improve his/her
performance. If necessary, the performance plan should be annotated to
document any new performance requirements or changes to existing
performance requirements at this time. The Rating Official must offer
the employee an opportunity to provide input on his/her accomplishments
for the progress review. Both the Rating Official and the employee must
sign the plan to indicate that the review was held.

**[DEVELOPMENT DISCUSSION]{.underline}** - Both the progress review and
the end of the appraisal period discussion provide opportunities to
discuss an employee\'s training and development needs; such a discussion
may be initiated by either the Rating Official or the employee.

**[PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT]{.underline}** - At the end of the appraisal
period, the Rating Official must meet with the employee to discuss both
the employee\'s accomplishments and the organization\'s achievements.
The Rating Official must offer the employee an opportunity and strongly
encourage the employee to identify specific accomplishments and results;
if provided, the employee\'s input must be retained as part of the
appraisal documentation. In assessing the employee\'s performance for
the Program/Project/Functional Objective element, the Rating Official
must consider the overall organization\'s performance taking into
account the results achieved in the organization\'s senior executive\'s
mission-related or functional area of responsibility as evidenced by the
Agency\'s annual Performance and Accountability Report, Program
Assessment Rating Tool (PART) ratings, and/or other assessments/reports.
In assessing the employee\'s Supervisory Competencies element, the
Rating Official should consider the employee\'s performance relative to
each of the competencies individually before assigning a performance
element rating in order to accurately reflect the performance of all
supervisory competencies. In addition, the Rating Official must consider
the effectiveness, productivity, and performance of the employee\'s
subordinates; the fairness and consistency of the performance ratings
and awards of the employee\'s subordinates and whether or not they
reflect meaningful performance distinctions; his/her compliance with
merit system principles; and if safety and diversity goals have been
met. The perspectives of subordinate employees of the supervisor must be
considered in this assessment and that of customers as appropriate. An
additional performance element should be left unrated (i.e., Not Rated)
only if the employee has had an insufficient opportunity to demonstrate
performance on the element; in such cases, this must be documented on
the appraisal form. The plan must be signed by both the Rating Official
and the employee to indicate the appraisal was held.

**[RATING LEVEL DEFINITIONS]{.underline}**

**[Performance Element Rating Levels]{.underline}**

SIGNIFICANTLY EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS - Performance that consistently
exceeds the performance standards to an exceptional degree.

EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS - Performance that consistently exceeds the
performance standards to a high degree.

MEETS EXPECTATIONS - Performance that fully and consistently meets the
performance standards.

NEEDS IMPROVEMENT - Performance that does not fully meet the performance
standards.

FAILS TO MEET EXPECTATIONS - Performance that fails to meet the
established performance standards.

**[Performance Summary Rating Levels]{.underline}**

DISTINGUISHED (Level 5) - Performance when all elements are rated
\"Significantly Exceeds Expectations.\"

ACCOMPLISHED (Level 4) - Performance when all elements are rated no
lower than \"Exceeds Expectations.\"

FULLY SUCCESSFUL (Level 3) - Performance when no element is rated below
\"Meets Expectations.\"

NEEDS IMPROVEMENT (Level 2) - Performance when any element is rated
below \"Meets Expectations.\"

UNACCEPTABLE (Level 1) - Performance when any critical element is rated
\"Fails to Meet Expectations.\"

The performance summary rating level assigned at the end of the
appraisal period (i.e., Rating of Record) must be supported by the
narrative summary. A performance summary rating of Distinguished, Needs
Improvement, or Unacceptable must be reviewed and approved by a
higher-level official.

**[PERFORMANCE AWARD ELIGIBILITY]{.underline}** - An employee who
receives a performance summary rating of \"Distinguished\" is eligible
for monetary performance awards, non-monetary recognition, and/or a
quality step increase \[5 CFR 531.504\]. An employee who receives a
performance summary rating of \"Accomplished\" or \"Fully Successful\"
is eligible for monetary awards and non-monetary recognition based on
performance. An employee who receives a \"Needs Improvement\" or
\"Unacceptable\" performance summary rating is not eligible for monetary
or non-monetary awards based on performance. An award and/or recognition
bestowed on an employee must be commensurate with the level of his/her
performance, responsibility, and progress toward the achievement of the
Agency\'s/organization\'s goals and objectives and relative to the
performance of other supervisory employees in the organization. The
process for determining the level of award and recognition must be fair,
consistent, and transparent to others.
