Complete Additional Contributor Assessments

Additional Contributor Assessments

The Additional Contributor Feedback feature enables other contributors to provide feedback about employee performance.

If your company uses the Additional Contributor Feedback feature for a review, you may be assigned as an additional contributor to an employee performance review.

When it is your turn to participate as an additional contributor in a review, an email is sent, requesting your input for an employee's review. You can optionally complete the applicable sections of the performance review, available on the Review Summary page.
