Appeals ProcessAppeals Process
• Employees can question two types of issue:– Judgmental
• (validity of evaluation)
– Administrative• (whether policies and procedures were followed)

Possible Solutions for Types of Rating ErrorsPossible Solutions for Types of Rating Errors
• Intentional– Focus on motivation– Demonstrate benefits of providing accurate
ratings
• Unintentional– Alert raters to different errors and their
causes

Implementing a Pilot TestImplementing a Pilot Test
• Roll out test version with sample group– Staff and jobs generalizable to organization
• Fully implement planned system– All participants keep records of issues encountered– Do not record appraisal scores– Collect input from all participants
![Page 27: Implementing A Performance Management System {Lecture Notes}](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5a676c6f7f8b9a8a378b489d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
