Performance Evaluation Administration

Why the System Exists

The performance evaluation system is designed to provide a reliable, long-term, cumulative record of performance and potential.

Key Aspects

The key aspects associated with the evaluation system are how well the individual does his or her job.

Supervisor Responsibility

It is important for supervisors to:

• Help subordinates understand their strengths and weaknesses
• Show how their efforts contribute to the mission

Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)

Custodial Office Responsibility

The office with custodial responsibility is responsible for determining if a requestor's official duties require access.

No Classified Information in Evaluations

• Attachments to evaluations
• Referral documents
• Endorsements to referral documents

Use "Data Masked" Instead

If an entry would result in the release of classified information, use the words "Data Masked" in place of that entry.

Classified Organizations or Locations

In cases where the evaluator is assigned to a classified organization or location:

• Enter "Data Masked" for organization nomenclature
• Nothing more
