How long are performance appraisals to be retained?
Supervisors must maintain all performance ratings of record that are four years old or less, including the performance plan on which the Rating of Record was based. These documents should be housed in the Employee Performance File (EPF). For more information on EPF maintenance, OHCMs Performance Work-Life Dynamics Office, Code 115, at 301-286-8052, or go to the performance management portion of the OHCM website at http://ohcm.gsfc.nasa.gov/performance/home.htm and click on the Employee Performance File (EPF) Maintenance and Review Procedures link to acquire helpful documents.
