FAQ: Employee Reviews

How does content carry over when multiple employee reviews have the same review period end date?: You can move content from a review section with the most recent period end date to the same section type in the new review. When multiple reviews have the same period end date, content from the review with the most recent initiation date or completion date timestamp carries over to the new review.
Can I configure the employee self-evaluation and manager evaluation in the same step of the employee review business process?: For best results, we recommend that you configure the Complete Self Evaluation
and Complete Manager Evaluation
subprocesses as separate steps on these business processes:
Start Development Plan
Start Disciplinary Action
Start Performance Improvement Plan
Start Performance Review
Do employee review rules apply to supervisory organizations?: Workday applies employee review rules to employees, not organizations.

Example: Create an employee review rule called Rule for 2000 Executive Management
that targets the 2000 Executive Management supervisory organization. Apply this rule in the 2000 Executive Org Review
template. Start a performance review for the 4000 Human Resources organization using the
Start Performance Review for Organization
task. Select the 2000 Executive Org Review
template.

Workday doesn't generate a review event for employees in the 4000 Human Resources organization because it's using a template that applies the Rule for 2000 Executive Management
rule.
Can contingent workers participate in employee reviews?: Your organization can configure development items, disciplinary actions, performance improvement plans, and performance reviews to include contingent workers. If you configure employee reviews to include contingent workers, you can use the same tasks, reports, web services, and worklets for contingent workers as you do for employees. Contingent workers can use the
Start My Development Plan
and
Start My Performance Review
to self-start these review types.
