If an employee disagrees with the planning section of the evaluation, and if the next line supervisor can resolve it, do they go through the reconsideration process at that point?
No. The next line supervisor must resolve any disagreements relating to performance planning by making a final decision as to what will be included on the evaluation form. If the employee still disagrees after the next line supervisor has made the final decision the employee will have to wait until the annual evaluation to appeal. If the employee disagrees so strongly they refuse to sign the planning section the supervisor should simply document that the employee refused to sign and initial and date this section. Keep in mind the employee can appeal any aspect of the evaluation internally (reconsideration). On the other hand they can only appeal to the Personnel Board if they receive an overall rating of one of the two lowest ratings.
