first three criteria for standards:

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 current
2.
Review performance factors with
employee
3.
Develop performance standards and
expectations for each factor
4.
Determine under which factor each
standard/expectation falls
5.
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)

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

MANAGEMENT DIRECTIVE
 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
Governor's Office
Subject:
Performance Management Program
Number:
540.7 Amended
Date:

By Direction of: 
Kelly Powell Logan, Secretary of Administration
 
This directive establishes policy, responsibilities, and procedures
for the Performance Management Program for all
commonwealth employees.

Description & EDP
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

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.
