Information about assigned Supervisors

New Employees & Contractors:

  • Your Supervisor or contracting officer is responsible for 'claiming' you as a member of their team. Consult with your Supervisor to ensure this is completed promptly. Here are the instructions.

Existing Employees:

  • Changes to assigned supervisors must be completed by your assigned Supervisor. They should only be done after ensuring that all training requests are completed, and if applicable, performance appraisals are final. Here are instructions for checking your assigned supervisor/manager.
  • If your position changes or your supervisor changes after your paperless performance plan has been activated, job aids are available to assist rating officials in conducting interim appraisals in DOI Talent. You can access these job aids in the Paperless Performance Plans Resources & Job Aids course.
  • The CSV Help Desk can assist if you have questions regarding which interim appraisal scenario to follow. You can reach them at HRMS_helpdesk@ios.doi.gov.
