Performance Appraisal Handbook

This handbook was originally designed for Department of the Interior rating officials and employees to assist with the management of employee performance, but contains great information for Army leaders.

It is divided into five areas coinciding with OPM’s definition, with the final section expanded to include taking other actions based on performance including dealing with poor performance. Managing employee performance is an integral part of the work that all managers and rating officials perform throughout the year.
