Can an agency use a close-out performance rating brought by an employee transferring in from another agency as a rating of record?
No. Under the new regulatory definition, the rating of record is: the performance rating done at the end of the appraisal period that reflects performance over the entire period; or the more current rating of record required by regulation at section 531.404(a)(1) of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, to support a within-grade pay decision. The regulations do not provide for agencies to specify other circumstances for giving a rating of record.
