Office of Professional Standards. (OPS) Files ARTICLE 18 JOB PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL (JPA) 18.1 The JPA process gives supervisors an opportunity to discuss performance goals and expectations that meet the Agency’s objectives with their employees; to assess and review the performance of their employees with regard to those goals and expectations; and to provide support to employees in their professional development, so that skills and abilities can be aligned with Agency requirements. 18.2 To recognize employee accomplishments and address performance issues in a timely manner, discussions between the employee and the supervisor will occur throughout the evaluation period. Performance problems will be brought to the attention of the employee to give the employee the opportunity to receive any needed additional training and to correct the problem before it is mentioned in a JPA. Ratings on the JPA will be supported by appropriate documentation. 18.3 Supervisors will meet with employees to review the JPA before it is finalized. An employee who disagrees with the final document may attach a letter of rebuttal to the completed JPA. An employee who does so will not be prohibited from challenging the content of the JPA in a future disciplinary appeal. 18.4 JPAs are not subject to the grievance procedure of this Agreement, except where supporting documentation was not completed in accordance with Subsection 18.2 above.
