How are appraisal ratings converted to NSPS?
• DoD employees who convert to NSPS and have a non-NSPS rating of record above unacceptable on file at that time will be assigned a Level 3 rating. • DoD employees who convert into NSPS with an unacceptable rating will be assigned a Level 1 rating. • The converted rating of record will be replaced as the employee is assigned an NSPS rating of record during the annual performance cycle.
