How do I decide if an Employee should receive an U, S, AA or E?
The rating is given on how well an employee achieves the standards that were established for each duty area at the beginning of the rating period. Standards should include a qualifier and a method of monitoring. If the employee meets the qualifier, then the employee has satisfactorily met the standard and should receive an S for that duty area. If the employee has surpassed the qualifier, then the rating would reflect an AA or E depending on how far above Satisfactory the employee has performed. On the other hand, if the employee did NOT meet the qualifier, then the rating for that duty area would be U (unless extenuating circumstances could be documented, and as such would be noted in the comments).
