Search and Add Job Descriptions and Task/Standards to a Performance Document from a Catalog

 

Within the CAPPS Performance Management System, there is a limited catalog of job descriptions and task and standards which you can import into performance documents. Once imported, these items can be edited. The catalog is organized by job codes, job families, and agencies creating the items.

 

Adding and editing descriptions and tasks and standards can save you the time it takes to generate these items from scratch. Only import items that are appropriate to the pay grade of your employees.
