Document background
The End of Year Performance Review is a crucial document used in U.S. organizations to formally evaluate employee performance on an annual basis. It serves multiple purposes: documenting employee achievements and areas for improvement, ensuring compliance with employment laws and organizational policies, supporting decisions related to compensation and promotion, and establishing clear performance expectations for the future. The document is designed to facilitate objective assessment while protecting both employer and employee interests under U.S. federal and state employment regulations. It typically includes performance metrics, competency evaluations, goal assessments, and development plans, creating a comprehensive record of the employee's contributions and growth opportunities.
