Are there names for each Rating Level such as Outstanding, Commendable, and Fully Successful?
No. The Departments 5-Level Performance Appraisal System requires only numeric Levels, e.g., 5 (highest Level), 4, 3, 2 (signs of deficiency) and 1 (Unacceptable). Please note that Level-5 is the highest Level that can be achieved, Level 2 indicates deficiency in performance, and Level 1 is unacceptable performance. Rating officials should contact the Office of Human Resources if an employees performance is at Level 2 or Level 1 for further guidance.
