Air Force Job Performance Appraisal System

摘要

This report describes the Job Performance Appraisal system (JPAS) that was developed in response to RPR 76-40 (revised) and the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CSRA). JPAS development is traced from the initially proposed system to the final model which was delivered to the Office of Civilian Personnel Operations in January 1981. The JPAS became effective for all General Schedule and Federal Wage System employees on 1 Oct 81. This report specifically describes the requirements of the appraisal system as outlined by the CSRA, the Office of Personnel Management, and the Air Force. A description is given of the work plan and the rating process. The five ratings, Superior, Excellent, Fully Successful, Minimally Acceptable, and Unacceptable, are defined. Further, the quality and timeliness of training to ensure a successful system are emphasized, and recommendations to enhance and further strengthen the JPAS system are presented.
