Complete Performance Review – Staff (Manager)

Print

This job aid outlines the activities for a Manager to complete a Performance Evaluation that uses the Staff template.

Prerequisites

The Performance Review process must be initiated by the appropriate security role in Workday. If your Employees are assigned a Performance Review template that includes a self-evaluation, you will not be able to begin your evaluation of the Employee until the self-evaluation has been submitted.

 

Important Information

  • The Manager should have completed and gathered any documentation to upload into Workday prior to beginning the evaluation (if applicable).
  • It is a best practice for the Manager to wait until the Additional Managers and Additional Reviewers (if one or both steps are utilized within the performance review) have completed their tasks before completing the Employee’s evaluation.
  • Managers should review the Performance Review with their employees prior to submitting the review.
