File name:TF PSD Guide Evaluations Please give us feedback!Documentation and Training Last Modified:31 Jul 15 Page:4 of 105 5.GENERAL INFORMATION: a.The evaluations process has transformed into an online application under the virtual Personnel Center (vPC) construct.Under this enhanced construct, the Commander Support Staff (CSS) representative will initiate the evaluations processing by reviewing a notice provided within vPC on Airmen requiring the completion of an evaluation.After the CSS representatives/Unit Evaluation Monitors (ANG Only) validation of the applicable evaluation form, Performance Report (PR) Shell information, they will forward the evaluation electronically to the rater for action. The rater will verify the request/action, prepare the evaluation on the attachment applicable form, and coordinate with the applicable coordinators for review, signatures, and completion. b.The final document will be submitted to the myPers - TFSC through the vPC evaluations application for final update action in the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) and file in the Airmans electronic records. c.The vPC process places the majority of the responsibility to prepare and coordinate the evaluation on the Rater and reduces or eliminates the Military Personnel Section (MPS)/CSS/Unit Evaluation Monitors personnel related action(s) after the initial notification/initiation step. d.Digital Signatures.Digital signature will be used in the vPC evaluations process, exceptin the following cases:a Referral evaluation report, at least one evaluator does not have a CommonAccess Card (CAC) or at least one evaluator does not have access to a CAC-enabled computer.Inthese cases, the evaluation will be printed out and hand signed (wet signed) with handwritten dates. Additionally, once a digital signature has been applied, it cannot be deleted. NOTE:Digital signatures are not authorized for referral evaluation reports. e.Wet Signatures.An original signature is now referred to as a wet signature (e.g., wet ink), as opposed to a digital or electronically printed, or dry, signature. ARC (Air Reserve Component) The Reserve and Air National Guard together form the ARC.If an evaluation requires wet signatures and dates, it must be endorsed by the CSS or designated Unit Evaluation Monitor as a Certified True Copy according to AFI 36-2406, and instructions within this guide, electronically scanned,uploaded, and forwarded via the vPC Evaluations application to myPers TAB 1:Air Reserve Component (ARC) Section B: General Information File name:TF PSD Guide EvaluationsLast Modified:31 Jul 15 Please give us feedback!Documentation and TrainingPage: 5 of 105 f.CSS Technician or Unit Evaluations Monitor (ANG Only).The unit evaluations monitor will provide assistance to therater in completing coordination of wet signature evaluation reports.Wet signature evaluations mustbe scanned and uploaded by the rater, then forwarded to the myPers - TFSC through the vPC Evaluations application for processing.Recommended tips and settings include: Scan evaluations to a single PDF file (not to exceed 918 KB) Recommended settings of black and white (no color), medium output quality, and 300 dpi Always check for legibility illegible evaluations (e.g., poor quality caused by scanning and/or reprographics) will be returned to the rater g.Certified True Copy Endorsement.When making a Certified True Copy enter the statement, Certified True Copy along with the certifying officials grade, name, signature, duty title, unitand the date on the front left margin of the evaluation and all attached documents. h.Attaching AF Form 77, Letter of Evaluation, as a continuation page.Raters who do not concur with a previous evaluators comments or ratings, or Functional Examiners/Air Force (AF)Advisors and wish to add comments may submit their comments on an AF Form 77.In the casewhere digital signatures are used on the evaluation, the AF Form 77 will be prepared, signed with a wet signature, scanned, saved in PDF format, and electronically forwarded along with the electronic evaluation. i. Time Sensitive EPR/OPRs.If a time sensitive EPR/OPR is required for immediate update,forward the EPR/OPR via vPC.The rater or designated representative will forward an e- mail with the vPC Evaluation Request Identification (ID) number along with the members name and closeout date of the EPR/OPR to: ARC [email protected] not attach the EPR/OPR to the e-mail j. EPR/OPRs Missing from Members Records (ARC only).Evaluations (other than current EPR/OPR)missing from records and being sent for processing to the myPers - TFSCmust be endorsed Certified True Copy by the designated representative before the EPR/OPR can be added to the record. k. Referral Evaluation Reports.Refer to AFI 36-2406, Paragraph 1.10. l.ANG Only.In accordance with (IAW) NGB/A1 policy the FSS/MPS acts only as the Advisor for the vPCevaluations process.The servicing MPS will NOT process evaluations on behalf of the rater, coordinators, or ratee. All participants in the vPC evaluation process will follow NGB/A1 policyas contained within this guide.Deviations from this guide are not permitted.The servicing ANG FSS/MPS will not circumvent any steps/processes within the vPC evaluations application.

TIPS. To provide further assistance on processing an evaluation in vPC Dashboard, we are providing the following tips: If the evaluation is incorrect, go to Previous Coordinations section and select the coordination from the Rater in the first review process to highlight.In the Previous OPR/EPR Attachment field, the form that is listed will be the initial form without signatures. You will be able to save this to your desktop, make corrections, and submit it back to the rater for review/signatures again. Enter applicable remarks in the Your Coordination section, Coordination Remarks field indicating what changes you made If an evaluation needs to be submitted to the myPers - TFSC and does not require coordination, the rater can upload the form to the application and submit it to one individual coordinator to havethem submit it back to them.The rater will then have the Send to TFSC buttonavailable and can submit the request without having to do several coordination actions forreview and signatures If a form is incorrect and digitally signed, the form does not have to be reaccomplished. All that needs to take place is go to the Previous Coordination field and for each coordination when highlighted, the form that was uploaded at that specific time will be in the Additional Attachments field.The Rater/Coordinator would simply need to highlight the coordination in which the form had not been signed yet, make changes, save the new corrected, and sendthrough the coordination process again m.FOR CSS ONLY Cancel Button Capability: If the auto notification/information in the vPC Dashboard Worklist tab is incorrect, you have the option to Cancel the action Caution should be exercised, the Cancel button should not be used by anyone other than the Initiator CSS/Monitor, using this button completely cancels out the application, and access will no longer be available ANG Only.Even though the link is available to the Rater, a notice is posted in the J ob Aid Evaluations (Rater Roles) the Rater not to use this link n.ARC PSD Guide Changes: Procedural Changes:Commander Support Staff (CSS) technician or Unit Evaluation Monitor (ANG Only) will receive an evaluation notice through vPC Dashboard.This notice will contain a link within the Worklist tab to a Performance Report (PR) Shell and the applicable AF Form based on the Airmans grade.The information will be validated, the applicable rater identified and the evaluation processing request will be forwarded via the vPC Dashboard File name:TF PSD Guide EvaluationsLast Modified:31 Jul 15 Please give us feedback!Documentation and TrainingPage:7 of 105 The servicing Force Support Squadron (FSS)/Military Personnel Section (MPS) will no longer upload the appropriate AF Form/PR shell into the vPC evaluations application, and forward to any raters.The responsibility now belongs to the CSS/Unit Evaluation Monitor (ANG Only) The rater will select from the Next Coordination dropdown menu Return to Initiator versus click a single Return to MPF. All additional coordinators will use the Role selection function in the Next Coordination section to forward or return an evaluation versus the previous capability of clicking either Select: Next Rater/Coordinator or Return to: Previous Coordinator. o.Extensions Requests for Close-Out Dates.The authority to extend a closeout date for lieutenant colonel and below is retained by:NOTE:With implementation of enlisted Static closeout dates this will no longer be applicable to enlisted grades.
