Steps: Enable Sending Back or Pulling Forward Performance Reviews

You can use the
My Team's Performance Reviews
report to send back or pull forward performance reviews for your employees. Users with access on the
Manual Send Back
action of the
Start Performance Review
business process security policy can change the current step for in-progress reviews.
Send back and pull forward actions are only available for performance reviews and not the other employee review types.
You can only pull forward a performance review when the review is in progress and is on the
Complete Self Evaluation
initiation step.
Workday saves all review content including comments, but removes any acknowledgments. When a participant in a review has changed roles or organizations, Workday routes the action steps to the original participant, but sends approvals to the current incumbent.
  1. Edit Domain Security Policies.
    Add managers to the
    Worker Data: Review Event
    domain.
  2. Edit Business Processes.
    Enable pulling performance reviews forward. Configure the
    Start Performance Review
    business process definition so that the
    Complete Self Evaluation
    initiation step immediately precedes the
    Complete Manager Evaluation
    initiation step.
    The
    Complete Self Evaluation
    business process definition must contain only the initiation step.
  3. Enable administrators to perform manual send back. Add administrators to a security group specified in the
    Manual Send Back
    action of the
    Start Performance Review
    business process security policy.
Managers can:
  • Send a review back from the
    Complete Manager Evaluation
    initiation step by clicking
    Send Back
    .
  • Pull a review forward from the
    Complete Self Evaluation
    step to the
    Complete Manager Evaluation
    step by clicking
    Complete On Behalf Of
    from the
    My Team's Performance Reviews
    report.
Administrators can manually send back a performance review event by selecting
Business Process
Manual Send Back
from the related actions menu.
