The last stage in building a performance review within the HR platform is the creation and assigning of a review period. You will take the template you created previously, add in details such as the start and end date, and then choose what employees need assigning this finished performance review.

The Review Period feature allows you to add or remove users as needed and send reminders out to complete the assigned work. You can also view an employee and their manager's performance review progress from within this feature, or you can download a report outlining the progress made by all your employees and their managers.

Before being able to create a review period, the following needs creating:

HR Best Practise

You can choose when you will go live with the performance reviews to your employees and their respective managers. In extensive research, they found that annual performance reviews did not necessarily drive employee performance and/or engagement. Whereas a bi-annual or quarterly performance review gives an opportunity for more regular feedback.

    • Title.

    The lock-out date you enter here will be the date that the HR platform uses when determining whether to accept responses from your employees and managers; i.e., you will need to provide the responses before the date you enter within this field. Admins can change this date to extend the lockout period if your employees need further time to complete their review.

    • Reminders begin.
    • Templates.
    • Commence reminders.

Further information

Review changed during the review period

If an employees manager changes during the review period, then the HR platform will clear the previous manager's responses and set the new manager as the owner of the review.

Review changed during the lockout period

If an employees manager changes during the lockout period, then the HR platform will keep the manager's responses and the previous manager will remain assigned to the review.

Review changed after the lock-out period

If an employees manager changes after the lock-out period, then the HR platform will keep the managers' responses and the previous manager will remain assigned to the review.

Important

Extending the lock-out date of a review will not allow you to change the manager of a review. To change the manager of a review, make sure the end date of the review period is a future date before changing the employee's primary manager.
