Document background
The Workplace Performance Appraisal document is a critical tool for organizations operating in the United States to formally assess and document employee performance. It is designed to comply with federal employment laws including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, ADA, and ADEA, while also accommodating state-specific requirements. This document should be used during regular performance review cycles (typically annual or semi-annual) to evaluate employee achievements, set new goals, and document development needs. The appraisal includes objective performance metrics, competency assessments, and future objectives, serving as both a performance management tool and an official record of employee development. It helps protect both employer and employee interests by maintaining clear documentation of performance discussions, expectations, and agreements.
