USING PERFORMANCE PRO An Appraiser s Quickstart Guide Hrperformancesolutions.net 4/2017 v. 3.9
Appraiser Quickstart Guide You have been asked to provide input on an appraisal as a primary appraiser. If you have done a self-appraisal in Performance Pro the process will be familiar to you. However, as a manager and owner of the process, you have additional steps to complete the appraisal. You must first change your role to Appraiser and select an employee. Once done, there may be up to nine steps to complete the appraisal. Keep in mind, steps vary depending on the system setup. You may be asked to evaluate ONLY Factors. On the other hand, you may be asked to evaluate ONLY Goals. When you go to each step in the process, if the system does not show any criterion for you to rate, simply go to the next step. If you have questions or have difficulty accessing the program, please contact your Human Resource Department or an Administrative User. Starting the Program To start the Program: 1. Open your browser and enter your client address in the address line. Please see your Administrative User if you do not have this link. 2. Enter your username and password in the Client Login fields. Press Enter on your keyboard or click the Login button. Completing an Appraisal Step 1: Review Previous Performance Documentation An employee s Performance History, including Appraisals, s, Forms, Additional Documents, and Peer Feedback completed during the appraisal period, should be reviewed before a performance appraisal is started.
