Maintain Employee Review Acknowledgement Statuses

Maintain Employee Review Acknowledgement Statuses

Security:
Set Up: Employee Reviews
 domain in the Performance Enablement functional area.
When employees and managers complete an employee review, you can require them to acknowledge the review and are ready to finalize the review content. The acknowledgement step includes a drop-down status that employees and managers select and a comment field for entering comments. Use employee review acknowledgement statuses if you add the
Provide Employee Review Comments
 and
Provide Manager Review Comments
 steps in the
Complete Manager Evaluation for Performance Review
 and
Complete Manager Evaluation for Disciplinary Action
 business processes.
You can specify that an acknowledgement status only applies to employees or managers, or to specific review categories.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Employee Review Acknowledgement Statuses
     task.
  2. For each status, specify:
    • Order
    • Status
    • Description (for information purposes only)
    • Review Category
      Select 1 or more employee review categories for the status.
    • Action Step
      Select whether the status applies to the
      Provide Employee Review Comments
       or
      Provide Manager Review Comments
       action step, or both.
To create an acknowledgement status that's only used by managers in conjunction with a Development Plan, you can create a status called
Acknowledge Development Plan with Comments
 for the
Individual Development Plan
 review category and assign it to the
Provide Manager Comments
 action step. When the
Provide Manager Review Comments
 step is run, Workday includes this status for Development Plans and for managers only.
To inactivate a status, access the
Maintain Employee Review Acknowledgement Statuses
 task and select the
Inactive
 check box for that status. When you inactivate a status, it's no longer available for in-process or new reviews. You can reactivate acknowledgement statuses.
