2009 Performance Summary and 2010 Performance Plans.

This page contains links to documents that are related to preparing 2009 perfomance summary ratings and preparing 2010 performance plans.

Message from John Gledhill:

All of you should have received an e-mail containing the files listed below pertaining to this years performance summary and next years performance plan. I highly recommend reading the National Bulletin as it provides more detailed information than in the past, especially regarding what to do if supervisors change; employees are on details or temporary promotions; and the allowable percentages of pay as they relate to performance awards. Since this bulletin is being sent in advance, you will note that it has not yet been assigned a bulletin number and is undated.

The attachments marked as A-F are simply tips and pointers related to preparing for and conducting the review, much the same as has been sent in the past. Attachment F-1 is a powerpoint with screenprints walking the user through the EmpowHR process.
