What safeguards are in place to ensure fairness in the performance management process?
Ultimately, any pay or performance management system reflects the integrity of, and is only as effective as, the people who manage it. To encourage effective use of DCIPS, and integrity in DCIPS-related activities, each agency implementing DCIPS will establish a Performance Review Authority (PRA) that will establish transparent procedures that will include setting expectations, monitoring processes, auditing and evaluating results, providing employees an avenue to appeal their performance ratings, and holding managers and employees accountable.
