Performance management programs under the DOT Performance Appraisal System shall provide for communicating performance plans to employees. Performance plan results, performance expectations and any goals and objectives must be discussed with employees at the beginning of the appraisal period. Supervisors must discuss the methods for appraising each critical and non-critical element during the appraisal period against the employee's performance indicators. The appraisal methods must include, but are not limited to, one progress review during the appraisal period. To the maximum extent possible, the progress review shall be informative and developmental in nature and shall focus on how to improve future performance.
