# 2020-196 Others, Canadian Forces Performance Appraisal System

Case summary

F&R Date: 2020-12-09

The grievor complained that he had been given a Performance Evaluation Report (PER) even though he had previously opted out of receiving a PER. The Committee found that as the grievor had not opted back into the PER process, he should have been given a PER Exemption (PERX) and not a PER. The Committee recommended that the grievor's PER be removed from his file and replaced with a PERX.

FA decision summary

The Final Authority agreed with the Committee's finding that the grievor's transfer between Canadian Armed Forces environments did not cancel his PER opt-out request. The FA agreed with the Committee's recommendation to grant redress and directed that the grievor's 2019-2020 PER be replaced by a PERX.
