The Performance Appraisal System is an integral
part of performance management within DOI. Revision to the law allows each agency to
develop one or more performance appraisal systems for employees covered. The agency
appraisal system, in this case the DOI Performance Appraisal System, establishes
agencywide policy for the application and operation of all performance appraisal within
the agency, including:
1. Establishing employee performance plans, including, but
not limited to, critical results and performance
indicators;
2. Communicating performance plans to employees at the beginning of the appraisal
period;
3. Evaluating each employee during the appraisal period on the employee's
performance plan;
4. Recognizing and rewarding employees whose performance so warrants;
5. Assisting employees in improving unacceptable performance;
6. Reassigning, reducing in grade, or removing employees who continue to have
unacceptable performance, but only after an opportunity to demonstrate acceptable
performance; and,
7. Identifying the employees covered by the system.
The Performance Appraisal System applies to all Bureaus and offices of the Department.
Bureaus will not issue supplemental performance management policy.
