Non-SES Performance Management Toolbox

Effective October 1, 2018, the Department of the Interior has transitioned to a new performance management policy for general workforce employees. The revised Departmental Manual (DM) chapter 370 DM 430 establishes a new performance management system for non-SES/SL/ST employees. The most significant difference in the policy is that the Department is changing from a five-level to a four-level rating system, eliminating the “Minimally Successful” rating level.  Additional changes include revised names and descriptions for the remaining four rating levels, streamlined procedural requirements, and changes to performance-based awards eligibility.

See Frequently Asked Questions to read a summary of all of the substantive changes, as well as to learn about the entire performance appraisal process.  Additional detailed guidance to accompany 370 DM 430 is available in the revised and expanded DOI Performance Management Handbook.  Employee Performance Appraisal Plan (EPAP) forms have also been updated and must be used for all performance plans issued after October 1st.

If you have any questions, please contact your Servicing Human Resources Office.
