The purpose of the appraisal form is to document the facts, events and circumstances of an APS employee's appraisal process. We will focus on Sections 1 and 3 in this workshop. Key Duties State that the Rutgers performance appraisal instrument requires that you define the 3 to 5 key duties or behaviors for the employee's job. This slide illustrates what the new form looks like. Discuss the key points from the slide.
Competencies are broader and more general than behavior.
Behaviors are included as part of a performance standard, it is not a duty. It makes sense, therefore, that you prioritize the duties so you and the employee have a mutual understanding of the relative importance of the major duties. It is possible for an employee to spend a great deal of time on insignificant duties. Slide 6-Setting Priority Levels State that there are different methods for setting priority levels. The simplest is ranking.
