✓ TIP:
By default, your Performance Review Plan list shows plans created in the current reporting year. Click the Filter button to filter for other records.
✓ TIP:
The red asterisk * next to the heading of a field indicates that the field is required. You will not be able to save the record until you have added input into that field.
✓ TIP:
Only the current year or upcoming year can be selected.
✓ TIP:
Make sure staff being reviewed are assigned the correct position in their user account.
To manage user accounts, hover over the gear icon and select Manage Users.
Select Manage Users
Only User Managers and Organization Administrators may manage user accounts. Staff with these roles are listed in the PEARS Directory.
✓ TIP:
The start and deadline time must be listed at the start of the hour.

NOTE:
If this box is checked, the same survey must be selected for both the self-assessment survey and the supervisor survey.
NOTE:
Supervisors cannot make changes to the agent self-assessment reviews. Copying over responses to the supervisor review saves a new supervisor review in the database (that is separate from the self-assessment). The self-assessment review will remain intact and responses will not be overwritten by the supervisor.
