If 50 percent or more of the individual performance ratings are at the same level of performance, the overall rating is most likely to be at that level of performance. The statement supporting the overall rating must be entered in the supervisor's comments section of the work plan form. The supervisor signs the job performance summary page of the PM-1 form and obtains the signatures of the employee and the next level supervisor. In the comments section, employees and supervisors may make statements regarding the appraisal and the appraisal process. The next level supervisor is required to review and sign the performance rating completed by subordinate supervisors for employees in their areas of responsibility before the performance rating is discussed with the employee.
Comments are optional.
