Use a DD Form 2799,Employee Performance Plan And Results Report, December template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What the December report records

Dd Form 2799,Employee Performance Plan And Results Report, December is a personnel document used to record an employee’s planned performance expectations and reported results for the applicable review period. It connects objectives, employee input, supervisory assessment, and required approvals in one controlled record. The form’s exact instructions and approval roles should come from the issuing defense organization or authorized personnel office. signNow can upload the approved PDF, detect fillable fields, assign them to participants, collect electronic signatures, and preserve the completed report with an audit trail.

Who uses the December report

The report is most useful where supervisors, employees, and reviewing officials must document performance expectations and results in a controlled record.

  • A federal civilian supervisor uses the report to document planned performance elements, review employee results, and route approvals without circulating editable copies by email.
  • A human-resources office uses controlled templates and audit trails to standardize December reports across organizational units while limiting access to authorized personnel.
  • A defense contractor supporting a federal program uses the report for internal performance documentation, subject to its contract, personnel policy, and records requirements.

These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Features for completing the December report

Field detection

Upload the December report and identify its existing fields before assigning employees, supervisors, and reviewing officials. This reduces manual recreation and keeps the approved document structure visible during preparation.

Best practices for the December report

Accurate field assignment, consistent evaluation language, and controlled retention help preserve the report’s usefulness during personnel review.

Preserve the approved December template

Use the official December version supplied by the responsible defense organization, then preserve its labels and section order. Compare the uploaded file against the approved source before assigning fields, because renamed or omitted performance elements can weaken review consistency and create disputes about what the employee was evaluated against.

Assign every field to a named reviewer

Identify the employee, supervisor, reviewing official, and approval sequence before sending. Assign every field to a named participant rather than relying on shared access. This keeps performance statements, ratings, signatures, and comments attributable to the person responsible for each entry.

Keep objectives and results distinct

Separate performance-plan entries from results-report entries when the form presents them as different sections. Record measurable objectives, subsequent outcomes, and supporting comments in their designated areas. Do not replace factual results with general praise or unsupported conclusions that cannot be reviewed later.

Archive the signed report securely

Export the completed PDF and audit trail after final signatures, then store both under the organization’s approved records policy. Restrict access to authorized personnel because performance evaluations can contain sensitive employment information and supervisory assessments.

Challenges when completing the report

  • Supervisors may place narrative results in objective fields, making planned standards difficult to compare with recorded performance outcomes.
  • Unassigned fields can leave employee comments, supervisor ratings, or approval signatures incomplete when the report reaches final review.
  • Editable email attachments can create conflicting versions of the December report and obscure which copy received final approval.
  • Incomplete supporting comments may make a rating difficult to explain during a later personnel review.

Troubleshooting the December report

These answers address field assignment, signer identity, plan capabilities, audit evidence, and electronic-record requirements for the December performance report.

Upload the approved December PDF again and inspect detected fields before sending. signNow templates and field assignment can preserve the form structure, but an administrator should verify employee, supervisor, rating, comment, and approval fields manually before distribution.

Open the recipient settings and confirm that every required field belongs to the correct employee, supervisor, or reviewing official. signNow’s role-based field assignment prevents reassignment errors when the report moves through its approval sequence.

Use signNow’s audit trail to review the recipient, timestamp, action history, and completion state. If the report was edited after preparation, compare the final PDF with the approved December template before requesting new signatures.

Business includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, audit trails, and mobile apps at $8 per user per month when billed annually. Confirm the organization’s plan and invite allowance before sending recurring performance reports.

Business Premium adds bulk send at $15 per user per month when billed annually. It may fit repeated distribution, but the organization must still confirm each employee, supervisor, and approval assignment individually.

signNow states ESIGN and UETA compliance for its electronic-signature workflows. Legal effect still depends on signer intent, consent, attribution, record retention, and the organization’s applicable federal personnel policy.
