Grammar
Applicable and Observed
Hello everyone,
Could you tell me the meaning of following phrase?
A:Not applicable
B:Not observed
When I have to answer someone's performance, I confuse the meaning of above two phrases.
My understanding is…
“A” means exempt from its application because the target person isn’t required to do that work.
“B” means the target person did nothing in spite of they have to do that work.

I take NA as meaning this item does not apply to this person at this time. (exempt, as you say - it does not pertain to his job classification) I would say that "Not Observed" is the correct response when you as an evaluator have not had the opportunity to observe the person in the performance of this particular task - or have not seen the results of his work in this particular area. It doesn't mean he has neglected to perform the task.

- I don't believe that either designation would reflect negatively on the person.
