Document background
The 90 Day Performance Evaluation is a standard business document used across United States organizations to formally assess new employees during their initial employment period. This evaluation serves multiple purposes: it helps determine if the employee meets job requirements, identifies training needs, documents performance issues, and supports employment decisions. The document is particularly crucial in U.S. jurisdictions that follow at-will employment doctrine, as it provides documented justification for employment decisions. It typically follows state and federal employment law requirements, including anti-discrimination provisions and reasonable accommodation considerations. The evaluation should be completed near the end of the 90-day period and includes specific performance metrics, behavioral assessments, and concrete examples of employee performance. This documentation is essential for HR records and can be valuable in case of future employment disputes or unemployment claims.
