No APR, no promotion

Around 390 civil engineers have failed to upload their Annual Performance Reports (APRs) for several years despite repeated instructions from the Public Works (R&B) Department. The department has warned these engineers that they will not be promoted or regularised if they do not comply within two days. The Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission has received a proposal for the regularisation or promotion of engineers from the department, but many engineers are deficient in documents, particularly APRs. The R&B Department has directed all civil engineers who have not uploaded their APRs on the JKPWDOMS portal to do so within two days for their promotion or regularisation in the respective grade.
APRs are important for employees as well as employers. These reports provide a comprehensive evaluation of an employee’s performance over a specific period, typically a year. APRs are a way to receive feedback on their work, identify areas for improvement and set goals for the future. APRs can also be used as a basis for career development, promotions and salary increases. By having a clear understanding of what is expected of them and receiving regular feedback, employees can work towards achieving their goals and improving their performance.
For administration, APRs are a tool for assessing employee performance, identifying top performers and providing constructive feedback to help employees improve their skills and contribute more effectively to the organisation. APRs can also be used to identify training needs and develop plans for employee development.
In summary, APRs are an important tool for employees and employers alike, helping to ensure that employees are performing effectively, meeting their goals and contributing to the overall success of the organisation. The engineers have been warned that they will be personally responsible for not being considered for promotion or regularisation if they fail to upload the required documents. The department has issued repeated circulars as reminders, but many engineers have not complied with the instructions. The ball is in the court of defaulting engineers now, as enough reminders and opportunities have been given by the administration.
