What is the process for the first performance cycle between 19 July 2009 and 30 September 2010?
The first performance cycle for DCIPS will begin on 19 July 2009. From 19 July to 18 August 2009, supervisors and employees will draft and discuss 3 to 6 individual performance objectives. Supervisors will input these objectives into the PAA Tool after discussion with their employees. Then Reviewing Officials will review and approve the performance objectives in the PAA Tool. Throughout the performance cycle, supervisors and employees will continue to have discussions on employee performance. About halfway through the performance cycle, employees will be rated on their progress toward meeting their performance objectives and their supervisor’s rating will be inputted into the PAA Tool. This midpoint review rating will be used for the mock pay pool cycle that will occur around March 2010. The final employee rating will occur in September 2010. The final rating will be used for evaluating employee performance increases and bonuses in November 2010. The final payout will be in January 201
