Defining Employee Competencies

Access the Review Competencies form.

Competency Class

Enter a division or rating based on some common attribute among competencies.

Auto Calculate Competency

Select this option to indicates this competency can be automatically calculated during an employee performance appraisal.

During an employee performance appraisal, supervisors might have the option to complete only the job competency ratings and have the program derive the new competency ratings for the employee. This option decreases the time required to complete performance appraisals and keeps the employee competency ratings up-to-date.

For some competencies, automatically calculated values would be erroneous. For example, if a job requires a training class, you typically would not want the system to automatically calculate a rating of 3 (Complete) if the employee has not completed the class.

You set up the default value for this option when you define job competency options. You can override the default value at any level where you attach job competency options.
