The GPI is to be applied to each critical result in the performance plan. A two-level appraisal system does not define or recognize superior levels of performance or differences among employees.
Superior performance is recognized through processes outside the appraisal system.
Each and every criterion in the standard does not have to be met by the employee in absolute terms for the rater to assign this rating level. The overall contribution of the employee's performance for the critical result must, in the rater's judgment, meet the GPI criteria. Occasionally, a rating official may determine that an employee's performance on a critical result was not consistent. For example, the employee may have performed at the Meets Expectations level on several major components within a critical result and below the Meets Expectations level on others. Indicate on the appraisal form, the assigned rating level.
