Know Your Contract

Well it is almost time for your FY 2015 final rating and just in case you did not know you have the option of “tooting-your-own-horn”.   Sometimes your manager might not remember all the things you have done over the last twelve (12) months, so why not remind them…

Our AFGE/SSA National Agreement states:

Article 21, Section 6. G –Optional Employee Self-Assessment

“Employees will be provided the option of completing an end-of-cycle self-assessment, highlighting their accomplishments relating to the performance plan.  Employees, who wish to submit a self-assessment,must do so no later than 10 days after the end of their appraisal period.  A reasonable amount of time will be provided for this activity.  Self-assessments should be maintained in the SSA-7B Extension File or electronic equivalent.  Management will inform employees of the above self-assessment option fifteen (15) days prior to the end of the appraisal period.”

Deadline: Saturday October 10, 2015, if your appraisal year ends 9/30/2015

NOTE: All appraisals will not end on 09/30/2015.
