Precepts for the Senior Foreign Service Consolidated Performance Board
A Mandatory Reference for ADS 463
Partial Revision Date: 09/16/2024
Responsible Office: HCTM/CPE
File Name: 463mak_091624
Overview
These Precepts (including the Foreign Service/Senior Foreign Service (FS/SFS) Skills Framework) prescribe the procedures and criteria to be used by the Senior Foreign Service Consolidated Performance Board (C/Board) for determining ratings for performance, promotion recommendations, retention, performance pay and presidential awards, limited career extensions, and referrals to the Performance Standards Board (PSB). The Precepts inform the C/Board of the factors to be considered in evaluating the performance of employees and describe the performance levels necessary for promotion, retention, and separation. Consideration of limited career extension recommendations for SFS Officers must take into account the same precepts for evaluation of performance, but must also refer to the precepts contained in ADS 463mae, Precepts for Limited Career Extensions for Senior Foreign Service Employees.
