Assessing Performance Sample Clauses

Assessing Performance. Metrics with Performance Xxxx Credits payable on a per unit basis have one of two types of performance standards: benchmark or parity. For metrics with “parity” standards, FairPoint NNE will convert the values calculated by the statistical methods specified in Appendix 1 to equivalent standard normal Z-scores. These equivalent Z scores will be converted into a performance score for each measure as follows: Statistical Score Performance Score Z <= -1.645 Miss Z > -1.645 Met For parity measures that meet the minimum sample size criteria set forth in Appendix 1, Xxxxxx’x Exact Test or the permutation test will be applied to obtain the statistical score, which will be converted into a performance score. For parity measures that do not meet the minimum small sample size criteria, an “SS” for “small sample” will be reported. Measures with benchmark standards will be given a performance score of “met” or “miss” depending on the actual performance results compared to the performance standard for that measure. For measures with benchmark standards that have a small sample size, a small sample size table contained in Appendix 2 will be applied to obtain the performance scores.

Assessing Performance. A. Management has determined, appraisals will be made in a fair and objective manner and will reflect actual performance against established written standards, without any predetermined distribution of expected levels of performance. Consideration should be given to the priorities of work assignments, unforeseen obstacles, significant changes in the work and workload, other job-related factors, and mitigating circumstances.
