Performance Review Phase

How To Evaluate a Candidate for Pay Review: Performance Review Phase

It’s important for your managers or HR representatives to accurately measure an employee’s performance to avoid unfairness or accusations of discrimination. Below is an overview of how to rate your worker’s accomplishments during the pay review process.

1. Transparency Is Key 

Employees should be kept informed about what the pay review process will entail as the planning stage evolves. They should know exactly what to expect from the pay review process, including which aspects of their position will be reviewed. Springing a performance review on your staff makes it feel more like a penalty, especially if there are extenuating circumstances for a drop in performance.  

2. Hand Out a Self-Evaluation Form

Issue survey and self-evaluation forms before the pay reviews take place to gain greater insight into your staff. How they view their responsibilities and performance can help you identify weaknesses in their job description and find solutions for them to increase productivity. Additionally, surveys can also work as an announcement that a review is underway and give employees time to raise concerns in advance. 

3. Introduce an Employee Performance Rating Scale

An Employee Performance Rating Scale splits the responsibilities of a position into several categories you can use to rate employees in those areas. Establishing a standardised scoring system makes it easier to indicate when an employee’s performance falls above or below expectations in one or more areas.
