In Odoo, the *Appraisals* application can be used to evaluate employee performance on a recurring

Schedule appraisals

===================

Odoo's **Appraisals** app helps managers run recurring performance reviews. Each review can include
6+
a self-assessment and can follow any schedule the company sets.
7+
8+
Regular appraisals turn day-to-day work into clear goals and measurable skill targets. They also
9+
supply the objective evidence HR needs for raises or promotions, and keep individual performance
10+
aligned with company KPIs.
11+
12+
Reviews can be :ref:`scheduled automatically <appraisals/auto>` through an :ref:`appraisal plan
13+
<appraisals/appraisal-plan>` that triggers evaluations at set intervals, or :ref:`created manually
14+
<appraisals/manual>` whenever needed—such as before a promotion or department transfer.

Manually schedule an appraisal
58+
==============================
59+
60+
Managers can schedule an appraisal at any time, outside the regular cycle.
61+
62+
For example, if an employee is promoted, or transfers to a new role or a new department, an
63+
appraisal is scheduled to assess performance in the current role.
64+
65+
To create a new appraisal, open the :menuselection:`Appraisals` app, and click the :guilabel:`New`
66+
button in the upper-left corner. This opens a blank :guilabel:`Appraisals` form.
67+
68+
First, using the drop-down menu, select the employee being evaluated, in the first field on the
69+
form. Once an employee is selected, the employee's :guilabel:`Manager`, :guilabel:`Job Position`,
70+
and :guilabel:`Department` fields are populated according to the information on the employee record.
71+
72+
The current date populates the :guilabel:`Appraisal Date` field, which is the date the appraisal is
73+
scheduled to be completed. Using the calendar selector, adjust the date, if desired. This field is
74+
typically updated when the manager submits their final rating at the end of the appraisal process.
75+
76+
If there is an :ref:`appraisal plan <appraisals/appraisal-plan>` configured, the :guilabel:`Next
77+
Appraisal Date` field displays :guilabel:`Ongoing`. This indicates that the following appraisal will
78+
be scheduled according to the appraisal schedule. Once the appraisal is marked as complete, the
79+
:guilabel:`Next Appraisal Date` is updated with the date of the next appraisal.
80+
81+
Last, select the desired :guilabel:`Appraisal Template`. The :guilabel:`Default Template` populates
82+
this field, by default, and is created when the **Appraisals** app is installed. Using the drop-down
83+
menu, select a different template, if desired.
84+
85+
Once the information in the top-half of the :guilabel:`Appraisals` form is complete, click the
86+
:guilabel:`Confirm` button in the upper-left corner, and the appraisal is scheduled, and the
87+
employee is notified.
88+
89+
Once the appraisal is confirmed, both the employee and manager can start to fill out the appraisal.
