Sections 9901.405-406 – Setting and communicating performance expectations – Performance expectations may include behavior; goals; objectives; competencies; contributions; work requirements, such as standard operating procedures or instructions, manuals, etc.; a particular work assignment, including expectations of quality, quantity, accuracy, timeliness, etc.; or any other means, provided that the expectation would be clear to a reasonable person. Supervisors will be expected to involve employees in the development of their performance expectations, however, the final performance expectations are at management’s discretion. There are no words that require a supervisor to communicate these expectations to the employee in a reasonable time.
