Staff performance Evaluation Rating Scale

Points to Consider

Use whole numbers for the ratings. The overall rating may not be a whole number because of
the weighted calculations built into the form.

A rating of 3 (Met Standard) is a good rating. Employees who come to work every day, do their
jobs, etc., meet the standard.

If the evaluation contains a rating of less than 3 in the area of Performance, the supervisor
needs to contact Human Resources prior to meeting with the employee to prepare either a
Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) or other disciplinary document to be presented to the
employee at the time of the evaluation.

If the evaluation contains a rating of 5 in any category, the supervisor must provide a
justification in either the comment block if sufficient space is available or in a separate
document attached to the evaluation form.

Employees have 30 days from the date of signature on the evaluation to include any comments
with the evaluation.

The supervisor should take this opportunity to review the current job description with the
employee and discuss any changes or additions that should be made to this document.
