Preliminary Ratings

The capability to enter preliminary ratings for employees is available to managers only. These ratings are entered before the official rating data is entered in the manager's evaluation, and they are not entered on the evaluation—they are entered on the Enter Preliminary Ratings page. This enables the manager to enter preliminary ratings at any time after the document is created and is in any of these statuses: Define Criteria, Track Progress, and Evaluation in Progress.

Preliminary ratings are used to generate the Ratings Distribution Summary report on the View Rating Summary Page, which enables HR administrators to compare preliminary ratings with desired and actual rating distributions. Employees cannot see preliminary ratings.

To enable the entry of preliminary ratings, select the Preliminary Rating check box for the Overall Summary section on the document template.

See Recording Preliminary Ratings.

Use the Enter Preliminary Ratings page (EP_MSSADM_CONF_FL) to assign preliminary ratings to team documents as managers.
