Benchmark Supervisory Employee Performance Standards [pdf]

The Department has developed the following Benchmark Standards that may be used to describe expected performance for all critical elements for employees in supervisory positions. These Benchmark Standards can be applied to every position, but they can and should be further defined specifically for each critical element. Federal regulations require, at a minimum, that a specific performance standard be established for the Fully Successful level for each critical element. Rating officials are strongly encouraged to develop specific performance standards at additional levels to ensure that the employee has a clear understanding of the levels of performance expected.
