You may complete appraisals at other times of the year. For example, an appraisal is used to evaluate a new employee who completing a probationary period. The employee's immediate supervisor completes the appraisal form. The immediate supervisor assigns and directs the employee's work, checks work for proper methods and results, is responsible for correction of performance problems and is immediately responsible for the work of the employee. The completed appraisal form is also reviewed by the Line Executive.
Space is provided on the last page for signature and comments by the reviewer and employee.
Eliminate personal prejudice and feelings of favoritism. Consider each factor independently. Do not assume that excellence in one factor implies excellence in all factors or that poor performance in one factor implies poor performance in each factor. Base your appraisal on observed performance during the rating period, not on what is expected in the future. Evaluate overall performance throughout the entire rating period.
