The employee feels that criticism is unwarranted. Most of the time it is best to discuss the criticism and your reaction to it when it occurs during the performance review session. However, if the environment is not conducive to an immediate discussion, a follow-up meeting may be necessary. If the differences are not successfully resolved, employees are free to add a memo to their personnel file. Perhaps there was some unforeseen event that prevented completion of one or more goals and the supervisor does not sufficiently relate the details on the review form.
Employees have the right to add an explanation.
