# Complete a Supervisor Review

Learn how to complete a supervisor review in PEARS, including reviewing self-assessments, completing the survey, and providing goal feedback.

This article walks through the steps for supervisors to complete a performance review for each of their staff members. During the supervisor window, you will review the staff member's self-assessment and supporting data, provide feedback on goals, complete the supervisor survey, confirm the signed review, and mark it as complete.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**NOTE:** You can only complete supervisor reviews during the supervisor window defined in the review plan. If the window has not opened or has already closed, you will not be able to begin or change your review.

{% step %}

#### Navigate to Performance Reviews

From the PEARS homepage, hover over the **Reflect** menu in the top navigation bar and click **Performance Reviews**. Click **Go to Supervisor Reviews** to see the reviews of the staff members you supervise. The list shows the latest review year by default.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Select a Staff Member

From the list of staff members, click on the name of the person you want to review. This opens their review detail page. Click **Begin Review** to open the **Review Summary** page.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Review the Self-Assessment

On the **Review Summary** page, review the staff member's self-assessment responses. This page displays all of the answers the staff member provided in their self-assessment survey, along with their goals for the next year.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Review Supporting Data

If the review plan includes supporting data, review the PEARS records the staff member selected. This may include action plans, development plans, action plan reports, quarterly efforts, program activities, and success stories. Use this data to inform your evaluation of the staff member's performance.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Provide Goal Feedback

In the **Feedback on Goals** field, enter your feedback on the staff member's goals for the next year. You can comment on the appropriateness of the goals, suggest adjustments, or provide guidance for the upcoming review period. This field appears once the staff member has submitted their self-assessment.

Click **Save and continue** to confirm that you have reviewed the self-assessment and move on to the supervisor survey.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Complete the Supervisor Survey

On the **Supervisor Assessment** page, complete the supervisor survey by answering each question. The survey evaluates the staff member's performance based on the criteria defined by your administrator. Answer all required questions, then click **Save and Continue**. If the review plan does not include a supervisor survey, skip this step.

{% hint style="info" %}
**TIP:** If the review plan has the **Allow Supervisor to import User Self-Assessment response data** option enabled, click **Copy agent response** to copy the staff member's self-assessment answers into your supervisor survey. Copying overwrites anything already entered in the supervisor survey and saves the response.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Upload Documents (optional)

In the **File Attachments** section, upload any additional documents relevant to the review, such as supplemental performance notes or recognition records.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Print and Sign Confirmation

Once you have completed the supervisor survey and provided feedback, print the review for a signed confirmation. The printout includes a signature block; both the supervisor and the staff member should sign the printed document to acknowledge the review.

After the staff member has signed, select **Yes** for **Have you printed and had \[staff member] sign this performance review?** and click **Save and continue**.

{% hint style="info" %}
**TIP:** Use the **Print** button on the **Print** page to generate a printable version of the complete review, including the staff member's goals, supervisor evaluation, and goal feedback.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Mark the Supervisor Review as Complete

Review all of your responses. When every section in the **Progress** panel is complete, click **Mark as Complete**, then click **Mark as Complete** again on the confirmation page to finalize the supervisor review for this staff member. Repeat this process for each staff member assigned to you.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**NOTE:** After you mark the review as complete, you can reopen it with **Mark as Incomplete** to make changes until the supervisor deadline. Once the deadline passes, the review can no longer be changed. Verify that all evaluations and feedback are complete before the deadline.
