How Scales Rate an Appraisal

When an appraisal is created, weights are assigned to specific competency areas.

After the appraiser submits the scores, the scores are multiplied by the competency weight. The final score awarded for the appraisal is the result of the scores submitted by the appraiser and the performance workflow weight distribution.

For example, an employee is using a performance workflow with a 10-point scale and has a Core Competency weighted at 75% and a Job Skill weighted at 25%. The employee’s Self-Appraisal is weighted at 25% and the manager’s appraisal is weighted at 75%. The overall score is calculated as follows.
