      Subpart E--Inmate Worker Standards and Performance Appraisal
 
Sec. 345.41  Performance appraisal for inmate workers.

    Work supervisors should complete a performance appraisal form for 
each inmate semi-annually, by March 31 and September 30, or upon 
termination or transfer from the industrial work assignment. Copies 
shall be sent to the unit team. Inmate workers should discuss their 
appraisals with their supervisors at a mutually agreeable time in order 
to improve their performance. Satisfactory and unsatisfactory 
performance ratings shall be based on the standards in Sec. 345.40(a).
    (a) The SOI is to ensure that evaluations are done and are submitted 
to unit teams in a timely manner.
    (b) The SOI or a designee may promote an inmate to a higher grade 
level if an opening exists when the inmate's skills, abilities, 
qualifications, and work performance are sufficiently developed to 
enable the inmate to carry out a more complex FPI factory assignment 
successfully, when the inmate has met the institution's time-in-grade 
(unless waived by the SOI), and when the inmate has abided by the inmate 
worker standards. Conversely, the SOI or SOI designee may demote an 
inmate worker for failing to abide by the inmate worker standards. Such 
demotions shall be fully documented.
