The performance of a chief officer of a portfolio is to be reviewed at the end of each financial year by means of an annual performance assessment undertaken by the Official Member responsible for the portfolio after consultation with the Head of the Civil Service and involving the chief officer concerned.
In undertaking the performance assessment, the Head of the Civil Service or the Official Member, as the case may be, is to base his assessment on a factual comparison of actual performance as reported in the quarterly and annual reports of the ministry or portfolio with that specified in the performance agreement for the financial year, together with any modifications of that agreement made during the year.
Before completing a performance assessment, the Head of the Civil Service or the Official Member, as the case may be, shall consult with the chief officer concerned and any other persons the Head of the Civil Service or the Official Member, as the case may be, thinks relevant about their views on the extent to which the chief officer has achieved the performance specified in the performance agreement for the year.
The performance assessment is to be completed within thirty days of the annual report of the chief officer's ministry or portfolio being tabled in the Legislative Assembly, the tabling being in accordance with section 44 of the Public Management and Finance Law (2018 Revision).
