Frequently Asked Questions Performance Management

Advanced Search
Can one agency subcomponent use two summary levels and others use three or more (up to five)?

Yes.  So long as the applicable agency performance appraisal system provides for it, subcomponent programs may use any pattern of summary levels permitted by Governmentwide regulation.  OPM cautions agencies and their subcomponents to ensure that their applicable performance appraisal programs explicitly state the pattern used, including their numeric rating-level designators and equivalent terms.
