Description: Present final performance ratings to employees who have been under standards for at least 90 calendar days as of September 30, 2021.
For any employee, who, as of September 30, 2021, has not been under a signed performance plan and under the same supervisor for a minimum of 90 days, extend their performance appraisal cycle to allow 90 calendar days under the plan and supervisor.

Highlights and Reminders
- The Performance Appraisal Period coincides with the fiscal year – October 1 to September 30.
- If an employee has not been on standards at least 90 days by September 30, the performance appraisal must be extended until the minimum 90-day period has been completed (no later than December 30).
- In preparing performance appraisal ratings, supervisors must first rate each critical element individually, and then determine the Numerical Summary Rating using the formula on the front page of the EPAP (the paperless EPAP system will automatically determine the summary rating). A narrative summary must be written for each element assigned a rating of Outstanding or Unacceptable.
FY 2021 Performance Awards
We will provide further guidance on processing performance awards. Do not initiate performance awards for the FY 2021 rating period until this further guidance is issued. Do not discuss potential awards with employees.
