Document background
This Employee Appraisal Policy serves as a foundational document for organizations operating in the United States, designed to establish a standardized approach to performance evaluation while ensuring compliance with federal and state employment laws. The policy is essential for organizations seeking to implement fair, transparent, and consistent performance review processes. It includes detailed procedures for conducting evaluations, documentation requirements, rating systems, and appeal processes, while incorporating protections required by US anti-discrimination laws, privacy regulations, and record-keeping requirements. This document should be implemented when an organization needs to formalize its performance management system or update existing procedures to ensure legal compliance and operational effectiveness.
