Addressing Unacceptable Performance. A. At any time during the rating period, if the supervisor identifies that an employee’s performance in one (1) or more critical elements is at the Unacceptable level, the supervisor must notify the employee of the critical elements for which performance is unacceptable and inform the employee of the performance requirement(s) or standard(s) that must be attained in order to demonstrate acceptable performance with the issuance of a Notice of Opportunity to Demonstrate Acceptable Performance (NODAP).
B. The NODAP must inform the employee that unless performance in the critical element(s) at issue improves and is sustained at an acceptable level of performance, the employee may be demoted or removed from employment.
C. The NODAP will afford the employee generally no less than sixty (60) calendar days to demonstrate acceptable performance under the critical element(s) at issue, commensurate with the duties and responsibilities of the employee’s position.
D. The NODAP will include a written description of the assistance that will be provided to the employee to improve the unacceptable performance.
E. A supervisor can issue an Unacceptable rating prior to issuing a NODAP. However, no reduction in grade or removal action will be taken under 5 C.F.R. Part 432 until the completion of the NODAP period.
F. Once the NODAP period has ended or the supervisor determines that the opportunity period is no longer needed, the supervisor will provide the employee with a written notice of determination of the employee’s level of performance at that time.
G. The provisions in this Article shall not preclude the Agency from taking an action for unacceptable performance under 5 U.S.C. Chapter 75.
Addressing Unacceptable Performance. A. At any time during the rating period, if the supervisor identifies that an employee’s performance in one or more critical elements is at the unacceptable level, the supervisor may notify the employee of the critical elements for which performance is unacceptable and inform the employee of the performance requirement(s) or standard(s) that must be attained in order to demonstrate acceptable performance with the issuance of a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP).
B. The PIP must inform the employee that unless their performance in the specified critical elements improves and is sustained at an acceptable level of performance, the employee may be demoted or removed from employment.
C. The PIP will afford the employee 30 calendar days to demonstrate acceptable performance under the critical elements at issue, commensurate with the duties and responsibilities of the employee’s position.
D. During the PIP period, the supervisor will offer assistance to the employee to improving the employee’s unacceptable performance.
E. A supervisor can issue an unacceptable rating prior to issuing a PIP when a rating is required to be issued under the employee’s performance plan; however, no performance- based action (5 C.F.R. Part 432) will be proposed until the completion of the PIP.
F. Once the PIP has expired or the supervisor determines that assistance is no longer needed, the supervisor will provide the employee with a written notice of this determination.
Addressing Unacceptable Performance. (1) If at any time during the rating period an Employee’s performance in any element/objective is unacceptable/rated “Fails”, the employee must be placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). The PIP outlines the performance areas that are unacceptable/failing, how they are unacceptable/failing and what is required to improve performance. Supervisors are encouraged to seek advice and assistance from the servicing XXXX in preparing the PIP. The employee must be afforded a period of opportunity to improve for a minimum of 30 calendar days. If at the conclusion of the PIP the employee’s performance has improved to acceptable/successful, no further action is necessary.
(2) If, at the completion of this improvement period, the Employee has not improved, the employee will be given an unacceptable performance rating, and a notice of proposed personnel action, if appropriate. The unacceptable performance rating can result in removal from Federal Service, placement in a position in a lower pay band with a corresponding reduction in pay, or a reduction in pay within the same pay band or a change in position or occupational family; or reassignment to another position at the same grade, or change to lower GS grade position. Generally, employees with an unacceptable rating will not be permitted to remain at their current pay band/salary/grade. For Demo Employees, reductions in base pay within the same pay band or changes to a lower pay band will result in a minimum of 5% decrease in an employee’s base pay. The written notice of proposed action will:
(a) Provide thirty (30) calendar days advance written notice of the proposed action and will identify specific instances of unacceptable/Unsuccessful performance on which the proposed action is based; the performance elements/objectives involved in each instance of unacceptable/Unsuccessful performance; that as a member of the Bargaining Unit, he or she is entitled to representation; the Employee’s right to reply, (Written, oral, or both) within twenty (20) calendar days.
(b) Include the following language: You are represented by NFFE Federal District 1, Local 476, and therefore entitled to representation in accordance with the Negotiated Contract between the United States Army Communications Electronics Research & Development Center and the National Federation of Federal Employees Federal District 1, Local 476, IAMAW, AFL-CIO. Should you wish to, contact NFFE for assistance via mail to X.X. Xxx 000, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxx X...
Addressing Unacceptable Performance. It is the responsibility of the Agency to monitor employee performance throughout the rating period and take steps to assist employees in improving performance.
Addressing Unacceptable Performance a. If at any time during the performance appraisal cycle an Immigration Judge’s performance is determined to be unsatisfactory in one or more critical elements, the Agency will notify the Judge in writing of the critical element(s) in which performance is unsatisfactory and inform the Judge in writing of the performance requirement(s) or standard(s) that must be attained in order to demonstrate acceptable performance in his or her position. This written notice will be called a “Performance Improvement Plan” (PIP).
b. The PIP will also inform the Immigration Judge that unless his or her performance in the critical element(s) improves to and is sustained at an acceptable level for at least one year, the Judge may be removed or reassigned.
c. For each critical element in which the Immigration Judge’s performance is unsatisfactory, the Agency shall afford him or her a reasonable opportunity of at least ninety (90) days to demonstrate acceptable performance.
d. As part of the Immigration Judge’s opportunity to demonstrate acceptable performance, the Agency shall offer assistance in improving unacceptable performance.
e. The Agency will describe with specificity the actions the Immigration Judge must take to bring his or her performance to at least an “Improvement Needed” level. Such description must include a list of the standards to be met from the PWP.
