If a member is unable to sign his/her Evaluation Report within the allotted time frame required by COMNAVPERSCOM, what action should be taken?

The appropriate action when a member cannot sign their Evaluation Report within the timeframe required by COMNAVPERSCOM is for the Reporting Senior to write "Certified Copy Provided" on the report. This notation serves as an official acknowledgment that the member was unable to sign within the designated period but still provides a means of documenting their performance assessment. By marking the report in this way, it indicates that the evaluation is still valid and has been processed correctly, even without the member's signature. It ensures that there is a record of the evaluation that can be used for career progression and accountability, while still following the established procedures.

Other options, such as submitting a request for an extension, may not be applicable once the deadline has passed, while filing a grievance or preparing an incident report does not directly address the need for timely evaluation processing or record keeping. Therefore, marking the report as a "Certified Copy Provided" is the most suitable action to maintain the integrity and validity of the evaluation process in the absence of the member's signature.
