What happens if one of the critical elements is rated at a Level 1 in the Summary Rating?
If a critical element is rated at a Level 1, that becomes the overall summary rating and the rating of record. For example, if an employee has four critical elements in their performance plan and is rated Level 4 on three elements and a Level 1 on one element, and the total score equals 330 points, this score would normally be assigned to an overall summary rating of Level 3, but because one of the critical elements received a rating of Level 1, then this means that the overall Summary Rating Level will be Level 1.
