I am looking for some information or an aide-memoire to help me with a queston on PER exemptions. I have gone through the CFPAS Policy Directive and I am having some difficulty finding some clarification WRT filling in section 4. I asked numerous of my peers and supervisors and most were unsure or made these faces
The following quote is pretty much all there is for filling in the form.
Exemptions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no defined minimum observation period for a CFPAS Annual PER. However, in those rare instances where observation is so limited as to render it impossible to accurately report upon a member's performance and potential, then the unit CO may consider an exemption. The CO's authority in this regard must be exercised judiciously with an awareness that under no circumstances should an exemption be selected simply to save staff effort. To process the exemption the unit shall complete a PER exemption form with section 1, 2 and 3 completed. The CO must sign section 4 and where possible the member should sign section 5 in order to confirm his/her notification. Note that paragraphs 23 and 24 of the CFPAS Policy Directive continue to apply. Where uncertainly exists, DMCARM 2-3 should be consulted.
Members receiving an Exemption PER should be made aware that there is neither an advantage nor a disadvantage to having an Exemption PER over having a short observation period Annual PER. In terms of being found competitive enough to be seen by future selection boards, an average of the last two PER's on file is used to stand in the place of the exemption form so the member's place on the selection list reduction remains largely unaffected from what it otherwise might have been. A short observation period per, however, stands on its own merits and if it is not as highly scored as previous per's, the member's placement may be affected.
My primary concern is what is required to be filled out in the small text box located on the right hand side of descrption/dates in Section 4 of the PERX
Some clear direction with this matter would be most appreciated.
