Job Performance Planning and Evaluation Forms

Below are some forms that will help in your use of the Performance Evaluation System.

Instructions for Omniform use

System 2A Rating Forms

  • System 2A - An evaluation system which uses job responsibilities from job catalogs or those developed "from scratch" to produce a job plan. Formal evaluation ratings for each responsibility and the overall rating are based on written supporting documentation.
    •  
  • Formal Evaluation - The official performance evaluation rating form. The supervisor uses this to give his or her rating of the employee’s job performance which occurred in the period between the initial Job Performance Plan and the present Formal Evaluation

Available Catalogs

  • The General Job Performance Areas and Clerical catalog covers many major job responsibilities that are commonly used in job planning.
  • Also, Catalogs have been developed to replace the content that was formally available on the Specialized Forms (these special evaluation forms which had printed responsibilities and descriptions of performance listed for each were phased out with the Edison implementation). These special catalogs, replacing the specialized forms, have been developed for specific job classifications and are designated as Special Form 2B, Special Form 2C, Special Form 2D, etc.
