Under SRPE Policy, Paragraph 4k, it explains the employee must have reported to the rater and SR for a minimum of 90 days. Under current evaluation systems, raters must be in this role for at least 120 days to be eligible to rate an employee, and the SR has no time limitations. What is the rationale for the 90 days?

The SRPE is not a performance evaluation system. 90 days is the minimum for the rater and SR. This provision has been in effect since the initial roll out of the SRPE in 2001. The first line supervisor has the ability, within the CAPPMIS system, to identify an alternate SR, within the same chain of command, to be the SR providing that he/she is senior in grade/position to the AAW member and has been in that position for 90 days.
