EMPLOYMENT LAW FOR EMPLOYEES
WHAT ARE PERFORMANCE REVIEWS? HOW DO THEY WORK?
In today's workplace, performance reviews are a regular part of management practice, and not events that occur when your employer is concerned about your ability to perform your given duties.
What we can do for you
Your employer should have a performance review policy, and you can ask about this when you are first employed and signing your contract. If not, you should request the employer to put one in place. Contact us.
What can you expect?
In most organisations, you will have one performance review while you are on probation (up to 6 months). Other staff members can expect performance reviews to be an annual event.
Performance reviews should not be a one sided exercise. When you are called into the performance review meeting, your employer should give you an opportunity to respond to any issues raised about targets or performance and ask you to outline any concerns that are not initially included in the review process.
