This workflow describes the procedure for approving and following up an appraisal.
Once an appraiser has held and completed an appraisal, it can be sent to the appraisee for approval. The appraisee can display the appraisal, and opt to approve or reject it. If the appraisee decides to reject the appraisal, the appraiser can then review the appraisal. Once the appraisal has been approved, various follow-up activities can be performed.
Note
You must use this workflow if you wish to perform the follow-up activities defined for the appraisal model. You can also set up the workflow so that it omits the approval process.
You use this workflow if, for example, you want to:
Give appraisees the option of approving/rejecting an appraisal
Give yourself the option of reviewing rejected appraisals
Update specific qualifications profiles on the basis of the results of appraisals
Perform remuneration reviews in conjunction with appraisals
Make appraisal results available to other departments for follow-up/further processing
Make the following up of an appraisal depend on whether it has been approved or not
An appraiser carries out an appraisal, and completes this appraisal. The completion of the appraisal is the triggering event that starts the workflow.
It is the appraisee’s task to approve the appraisal. This person is determined automatically on the basis of the appraisal data defined in the system.
The appraisee receives the appraisal. He or she can display it, and opt to approve or reject it.
