Questions and answers

OPM regulations do not specify a minimum amount of time a supervisor must be on the job before he/she may appraise an employee. In some instances, agency performance appraisal programs may require a minimum amount of time. Consult your agency's human resources office for information on whether your agency has established a minimum period that a supervisor must be on the job before he/she may appraise employee performance.
