Concept: Printed Employee Reviews

Concept: Printed Employee Reviews

You can print the employee version of in-progress, completed, canceled, and rescinded reviews. Workday provides a defined print layout for employee reviews. You can also create your own custom print layout. The Workday-defined employee reviews provide:
  • Key employee information.
  • The overall evaluation and acknowledgment.
  • Any other sections defined on the template in the order they display on the template.
    Workday doesn't include the
    Supporting Documents
     section in the employee review printout (PDF), even if you enable section comments for the section. You can print the documents attached to the
    Supporting Documents
     section separately.
The acknowledgment section displays the acknowledgment step in the review process.

Generate a Print Document (PDF)

Print a review document using the
Print
 or
PDF
 icons. In the employee review, click the
Print
 icon in the left navigation pane. If you click the
PDF
 icon in the section pane, Workday only prints the content of that section.
You can also view the review printout by clicking the
PDF
 icon when you open the review in
My Tasks
.

Evaluation Content

The print document (PDF) contains content for self-evaluation and manager evaluation based on the current business process step and business process security policy. You must have
View All
 permission on these business processes to print all evaluation information:
  • Complete Manager Evaluation
    .
  • Complete Self Evaluation
    .
Managers can view the self-evaluation content in an employee review printout when:
  • They have view permission on the
    Complete Self Evaluation
     business process security policy.
  • Employees submit the self-evaluation.
  • The review is in progress or complete.
The printed review contains ratings and comments as configured in the employee review template that it uses.

Hidden Sections

When you configure the employee review template to hide 1 or more sections from the employee, those sections don't display on the review printout.
