Employees should receive regular performance evaluations from their employers.
All employers have their own performance evaluation schedules, but most employers
perform performance evaluations at least once annually and whenever an employee
is eligible for a raise or promotion. These performance evaluations should be
organized and easily accessible for each employee so that employers can quickly
gain access to important information about employees’ performances.
Why the Performance Folder is important
A performance evaluation may consist of a wide variety of forms and reviews, depending
on the employer and the position of the employee. For example, a performance evaluation
for a member of the sales department may include statistics and data pertaining
to the individual’s sales performance.
On the contrary, a performance evaluation for a supervisor may contain employee
surveys about the effectiveness of the supervisor, data about performance level
increases, and more. Each employer can determine exactly what elements go into
a performance review or evaluation.
Employers need to keep in mind that their performance evaluations are very important
in ensuring that the company is legal and released from certain liabilities. Therefore,
employers should emphasize the importance of performance evaluations whenever
supervisors are required to complete them.
For example, if an employee files a lawsuit for being wrongfully terminated, the
employer should be able to produce performance evaluations or supporting materials
that help to indicate that an employee was terminated for reasons related to performance
or the employee’s inability to meet other work-related requirements.
Because employees have up to two years to file a lawsuit against an employer in
most states, employers should be sure to keep employees’ performance folders
for at least two years.
This tabbed file folder is designed to help employers stay organized, efficient,
and legally sound with their performance evaluation record keeping regarding all
current and past employees.
