During the 6 months’ time (180 work days of employment), Sam has been absent 6 times, late to work 4 times, has been trained in 3 job positions with 2 favorable work reviews for two positions. In one position, when the work shift was short people, two weeks before this appraisal review, Sam supervised a beginning temporary worker in the re-stocking of all the raw materials going to 4 production lines. One marginal review has been assessed for Sam for his work in one position. A favorable, 6-months probationary appraisal review might warrant an employee being hired full-time at the company. Being hired full-time means a pay increase from $14/hour to $17.50/hour along with benefits. At the end of the appraisal be sure to state why you recommend that Sam should be hired as a full-time employee, or why Sam should not be hired as a full-time employee.

Performance Evaluation

Rate the employee's performance during the review period by checking the most appropriate numerical value in each section. To determine the overall performance rating, add the numerical values together and divide by eight (or 11 if the supervisor section was completed). Prior to the performance discussion with the employee, a detailed plan to address areas rated "needs improvement" or "unacceptable" must be submitted to the department head and human resources for review.

Rating scale: 5 - Excellent (consistently exceeds standards), 4 - Outstanding (frequently exceeds standards), 3 - Satisfactory (generally meets standards), 2 - Needs improvement (frequently fails to meet standards), 1 - Unacceptable (fails to meet standards)
