FY 2008 Guidelines Covering PFP for EAS Employees

Gentlemen:

Attached are the revised FY2008 Guidelines Covering Pay for Performance for EAS employees. This document is scheduled to be posted to the PFP website on December 7, 2008. Other than some minor verbiage changes, please note the following key changes:

Page 7: Evaluators and Employees: Review pre-determined core requirements, if applicable. This section relates to EAS pay packages with pre-determined behavioral core requirements, such as Postmasters.  Language has been added that states: “No numeric targets are ever assigned to these core requirements.” This language has also been added to Page 10, under Pre-determined behavioral core requirements. We hope the additions of this instruction, along with instructions in the Administrative Rules and the auto-approval function flag in PES for predetermined cores requirements, will help eliminate those occasions when evaluators attempt to assign hard targets for these pre-determined goals.

Page 8:Rating Assignment.  In the first paragraph, language has been added that states: “Evaluators should not discuss core requirement ratings until all ratings have been finalized and published in PES.” We have had much discussion on why ratings may not be discussed until finalized and published and the problems that arise when this requirement is not followed. We hope the addition of this language, along with instructions in the Administrative Rules, will help eliminate the premature disclosure of “recommended” ratings by evaluators to employees.

Page 9: Note change from 3 to 4 cores for Sales employees, changes to NPA and Core weighting percentages for Area EAS and the addition of the new category “Functional Managers” and related weighting percentages.

Page 10: Note addition of new category “Functional Managers” and number and type of core requirements.

Page 11: Note language for Non-Contributor Level for Field EAS, PPA Managers/Supervisors and EEO Field Operations. Prior to FY2008, the “Non-Contributor” rating did not apply to these positions.

Page  14: Corporate/Unit Indicators (NPA): Note language clarifying the average of overall performance ratings for HQ/HQ Related EAS, Sales EAS and ACS Attorneys are linked to the national (corporate) results.  This is not new policy – the language was added for clarification purposes.

Page 15-16: Overall Performance Rating: Note new language and weightings as the Overall Performance Rating applies to the new category “Functional Managers. Also, language has been added under the Corporate/Unit Indicators column for HQ/HQ Related EAS, ACS Attorneys and Sales EAS clarifying that the average of overall performance ratings cannot exceed the corporate NPA results. Again, this is not new policy.  

Page 16:  There is now only one matrix for Contribution Levels Under the 15-point Matrix reflecting our change to using a 15-point matrix for core ratings for all employees.
