Document background
The Employee Performance Assessment is a standardized document used in U.S. organizations to formally evaluate employee performance and document professional development. It serves multiple purposes: providing structured feedback, establishing performance records, supporting personnel decisions, and ensuring legal compliance with federal and state employment laws. The assessment typically covers a specific review period (usually annual or semi-annual) and includes both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of an employee's work. This document is essential for maintaining clear performance standards, supporting career development, and protecting both employer and employee interests through proper documentation. It should be regularly updated to reflect changes in job responsibilities, organizational goals, and legal requirements.
