Can an agency have more than one appraisal system?
Yes. Federal employee appraisal law (section
4302(a) of title 5, United States Code) requires Federal
agencies
to establish one or more appraisal systems. If an agency
finds a need
to describe different general policies and parameters for
different
groups of employees who are not in the Senior Executive
Service (SES),
it can develop more than one appraisal system. However, the
Office
of Personnel Management anticipates that most agencies will
not find
it necessary to develop more than one set of general
policies and
guidelines. If an agency believes it needs to develop
multiple systems,
its designated representative should call the agency's
performance
management contact in the Office of Personnel Management to
discuss
the agency's special needs.
