This topic provides information about approving appraisals.
You can implement your enterprise's approval process for appraisals using the standard SSHR approvals functionality.
When main appraisers give final ratings, they can add approvers and specify their position in the approvals chain. They can also attach supporting documents. If the Save Attachments check box is available in the Attachments region, then they can select this option to make these attachments available in the Oracle HRMS People window.
Each approver receives a workflow notification requesting their approval when the previous approver in the chain has approved. When the final approver has approved the appraisal, the main appraiser receives a workflow notification.
Note: Appraisals do not appear in an approver's Appraisals home page unless the approver is also an appraisal participant. Approvers can access the appraisal details from the notification message.
Any approver who disagrees with the appraisal can return it to the main appraiser for correction. The main appraiser can then update the appraisal and resubmit it to all approvers.
When an approver rejects an appraisal, irrespective of whether the appraisal is initiated by the Main Appraiser or the Appraisee, the main appraiser receives the rejected appraisal. The main appraiser can view the rejected notification in the In-Progress table. The application changes the appraisal status to Ongoing and the main appraiser can update the appraisal and must share it with the appraiser to complete the appraisal process.
When you send the appraisal to approvers, you can also request the appraisee's feedback on the overall rating. In this case, the appraisee receives a request for feedback when all approvers have approved the appraisal. At the same time, the main appraiser receives a notification that the appraisee's feedback has been requested. When the appraisee provides feedback, the main appraiser receives a further notification, and the appraisal process is complete.
