Standards
▪ Are written for the satisfactory rating category and for the rating period unless specifically stated otherwise within the standard
4
SMART Standards• Specific• Measurable• Achievable• Realistic• Time-bound
See EPR Factor Links
Standards
• Can be in various formats: Expectations, objectives, duties Goals, priorities, responsibilities Job duties correlated to expected results Job factors correlated with job standards
• Describe specific and measurable performance at the satisfactory level How much (quantity) How well (quality, results) By when (timeliness) At what cost (cost effectiveness)
Activity
Job Factor Links
• Job Factor Links provide expanded explanations of the various issues and behaviors that are included in assessing and measuring each job factor.
• You can access an online version of the 363L form and Links on the WPD website.
Improve Vague Standards
1. Review seven sample standards against criteria & rewrite them so that they meet the first three criteria for standards:
Achievable Measurable Observable
2. Identify which EPR factor each standard is an example of (Job Knowledge, Work Habits, etc.)
You can make up the standards… or use those you may be familiar with.
Factor Method
1. Ensure position description is current2. Review performance factors with
employee3. Develop performance standards and
expectations for each factor4. Determine under which factor each
standard/expectation falls5. Work with employee to achieve
agreement on standards and how they relate to factors
Activity
• Write down a duty• Write down three supportive
activities• Write standards for each supportive
activity• Indicate the related job factor(s)
Developing Standards
Job Factors
• Job knowledge / skills• Work results• Communications• Initiative / problem solving• Interpersonal relations / EEO• Work habits• Supervision / management
Weighting Standards & Factors
• Discuss with employee• Write weight/value on form• Percentage = value to whole job• Refer to weights during progress
review• Document weighting rationale in
written comments
Implement
• Observe• Coach & Mentor• Informal feedback Do
Review
Plan
Develop
Tracking Standards & Performance
• Spot check• Employee keeps
log/record• Activities file
(supervisor)• Activities reports• By complaint
Informal Review – Formal Results
“Good job, Fran. You completed the monthly status report ahead of deadline – it is accurate and thorough.
“One improvement would be to include the interim program expense data. The archive folder has examples of how this was presented in the past, and you can get the data from the procurement bureau… here is the name and phone number of our point of contact.
“ Do you have any questions or comments about the report?”

Types of Formal Reviews
• Annual• Progress Review
Semi-Probationary Review (3 mo) Semi-Annual Review (6 mo) Also called Mid-Period
• Interim• Probationary
New Hire Promotion
Interim Reviews
Should be prepared during the rating cycle if:• Employee's rater changes• Employee transfers or is promoted• Job significantly changes, resulting in new
standards but not a change in classification• Employee is assigned to work out of classification
for an extended period of time• For other appropriate reasons as determined by
the rater
Interim Reviews
Must be prepared during the rating cycle if disciplinary action is initiated due to continued unsatisfactory performance (not be the official notification of the adverse action)
Consider interim when completing annual or probationary rating
For non-civil service and non-union represented or SMS employees, an interim review should be completed approximately six months following appointment, transfer, or promotion into the position
Probationary Review
• Assess the employee’s fitness for continuation in the position
• Permanent Civil Service status granted only after a satisfactory probationary EPR is submitted to HR: “Your services as a(n) (job title) have been
satisfactory. I recommend that you attain regular civil service status.”
Due to HR by last day of probationary period• If not timely or properly completed, employee’s
personnel record will reflect probationary civil service status (not automatic flip to regular status) for 18 mos., then regular status is granted
Hypothetical EPR Timeline
• Evaluation as part of the annual FY EPR cycle• Period begins on the employee’s start date
(Oct. 15)• Close-out is June 30• Probationary review April 15• Interim (change of rater) on May 3
Start Date:
Oct 15
End of Prob:
April 15
Semi - Prob: Jan 15
Interim: May 3 –
Rater
Annual: Jun 30
Other Considerations
• Employee refuses to sign EPR …
• No electronic signatures on official EPR
• Employees may write rebuttals, offer documentation
• Employees are afforded 5-days to sign, submit comments
EPR Grievances / CS Appeals
EPR may be grieved if:• Supervisor who completed EPR wasn’t
familiar with employee’s job performance (or rater was not available)
• Process was improper or incorrect• EPR used to implement discipline• EPR used to notify employee of future
discipline• Employee alleges discrimination in rating
Writing Comments
• Support level of the rating• Consistent with level of the rating• Define problem areas for
development• Provide guidance for improvement• Include job-related recognitions• Substantive
All Ratings Require Comments
• Outstanding• Commendable• Satisfactory• Needs Improvement• Unsatisfactory
Performance Improvement Plan is: Encouraged if any factor is rated at Needs Improvement or
Unsatisfactory Mandatory if overall rating is Needs Improvement or
Unsatisfactory
Writing Comments … ???
• Since the last evaluation, he has reached rock bottom and started to dig.
• His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of morbid curiosity.
• This employee is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definite won’t be.
• Takes him 1 ½ hours to watch 60 Minutes.• This employee should go far – and the sooner
he starts, the better.• Wheel is turning but the hamster is dead.• If brains were taxed, he’d get a rebate.
Writing Comments
Attitude = • Vague• Emotional• Subjective
Behavior =• Specific• Observable• Objective
Activity
Indicate whether each statement describes an Attitude (A) or a Behavior (B)
Hint: Four B, Six A
Attitudinal: 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Writing Comments & Feedback
• Clear and concise• Elements for substantial comments:
1. Select job activity2. Indicate the degree3. Describe the conditions4. Suggest an influential factor5. Give an example6. Point out trends7. Show consequences, results, outcomes
Identifying Employee Strengths

• Recognize/commend proficiency• Maximize contribution to organization by
involving employee in assignments requiring those abilities
• Identify potential mentors • Seek input from employee, reviewing
officer, and others who work with/for employee
Develop
• Build on strengths• ID areas for
improvment• Learning need 1st• Developmental
opportunities to fulfill need

Plan
Develop
Opportunities for Development
• Identify job factors that were rated below “satisfactory.” What problem existed?
• Identify job factors rated at “satisfactory” or above; why was the rating not higher?
• What knowledge, skills, ability are needed by employee at the next level up?
Opportunities for Development
Consider: Mandatory
training requirements
Improving current job performance
Preparation for future job assignments
Enriching the work experience
Learning Need
The employee needs to learn (knowledge, skill) to (level, amount) for (special or specific criteria, circumstances, or duties).
The employee needs to learn Access software to an intermediate level for use on quarterly database reports.
The employee needs to learn how to develop a lesson plan for a one-day workshop for groups of 15-20 participants.
Developmental Options
• Direct Reading• Problem-solving• Off-site Assignments• Preceptorship• Meetings• Delegation• Mentoring
• Job Enrichment• Rotational Assignments• On-The-Job Training• In-service Training• Out Service Training• Self-instructional training
Activity
• Prepare an Employee Development Plan for the specific employee scenario for your group
• Determine the learning needs and then
complete the rest of the employee development plan worksheet

Preparing an Employee Development Plan
Continuous Learning
• Meet with employee after developmental option has been completed
• Give employee opportunity to use what they have learned
• Give rewards for learning and using new knowledge and skills
The EPR Interview
• Preparation is the key • Conducting the interview• Opportunities—reward, improve, plan• Occurs twice a year but a continuous
process• Begins and ends with 2-way
communication between supervisor and employee
Activity
• Count off by 3’s to form three groups
• On a flipchart, each group lists items that have been successful for them for one of the three phases of the effective EPR interview:1. Preparation2. Appraisal Meeting3. Follow Through
