Annual Confidential Report -- Every ACR Entry Affecting Promotional Prospects -- Must be communicated to employee regardless of nomenclature

Service Law -- Annual Confidential Report -- Every ACR Entry Affecting Promotional Prospects -- Every entry in the ACR of a public servant must be communicated to the employee if it adversely affects promotional prospects, regardless of its nomenclature -- The determinative factor is not whether an entry is formally labelled "adverse" but whether it renders the employee ineligible for promotion or diminishes promotional chances -- This obligation applies retrospectively -- Destruction of service records during pendency of litigation attracts adverse inference -- Award of fractional marks where the applicable promotion policy makes no such provision is impermissible.
