MOD $8-91$: Ms$.$ Jones, a Human Resources Analyst, is reviewing all the annual performance evaluations done by a particular manager. She is undertaking this review because several employees who report to this manager complained that their evaluations were not fair and not reflective of their performance and contributions to the division. Ms$.$ Jones reviewed the evaluations of the twenty employees in the division and noted that $17$ evaluations were at the $$meets standard$$ level and $3$ were at the $$exceeds standards$$ level. Ms$.$ Jones also revised the most recent performance evaluation for this manager and noted that the evaluation conducted by the department head was $$significantly exceeds standard.$$ Additionally, Ms$.$ Jones takes note of the fact that this manager received a significant performance bonus that was awarded because of the high level of performance of the division. Based on this information, what action should Ms$.$ Jones take?

Review the personnel files of the $17$ employees to see if disciplinary action was taken against any of the employees.

Review the personnel files of the $3$ employees to see if they merit the $$exceeds standard$$ rating.

Meet with the manager to review and discuss all $20$ evaluations and obtain supporting documentation.

There is no action for Ms$.$ Jones to take as the evaluations were performed by the manager in good faith.
