Creating Employee Review Documents
This section discusses how to create employee review documents.
Note: The process for creating employee reviews, whether it is by direct reports or group IDs, is similar. Creating employee reviews by group has one extra step at the beginning. The manager or HR administrator first selects the group ID for which employee reviews are to be created and then continues with the process.

Creating employee reviews is a simple process. The manager selects the employees for which they want to create review documents and enters the review period, document type, and template. The system creates the documents based on the selection criteria. Then, the manager and the employees can access the documents to add the ratings and comments.
