Who is the reviewer for the performance-appraisal process?
A. Usually the reviewer is the immediate supervisor of the person who established the employee’s performance expectations and evaluates the employee’s performance. However, another higher-level employee or one in an appropriate administrative role may be identified to perform the role of the reviewer. Q. What is the role of the reviewer? A. The reviewer has a significant responsibility to assure that 1) performance expectations are consistent with the goals of the work unit, 2) expectations are consistent for similar positions, and 3) ratings are consistent among different supervisors. This role becomes particularly important now that pay increases are associated with performance. Other responsibilities of the reviewer are to assure that expectations are specific, reasonable and attainable, that ratings are fair and accurate, and to ensure overall performance levels for each employee are supported by the ratings of expectations and the supporting documentation.
