Most companies have some form of performance appraisal policies for their employees, both hourly and salaried. The down sizing of many companies over the past several years has made performance appraisal policies more visible because these policies are now being used to bring litigation against the company in unlawful dismissal cases, age discrimination lawsuits, etc. Depending upon the size of the operation, a company may have written job specifications, job descriptions, appraisal forms, etc.
