My Self Appraisal The supervisor should notify the employee that he/she needs to complete the online self appraisal and give a deadline for completion. The employee has access to this until he/she indicates that it is complete by checking the box and clicking the Save Responses button one last time. Note: All questions require a response. You may format the text using the buttons in the bar at the top of each answer box. An employee cannot access the form after this point, but will have access to the print version. The employee must print a hard copy to bring to the appraisal meeting. The supervisor will not have access to the self appraisal until the appraisal meeting has taken place. 2

There is no need to enter the overall score into a separate application. You cannot attach or upload documents such as letters of commendation or certificates of achievement. These documents should be kept in the individual employee file at the department level. You may print the appraisal for your files. You will be able to view yearly appraisals in the application. Data that feeds this application is one day behind. If you should submit changes to the reporting structure, please note this. The application will be updated the day after the change is entered into HR PeopleSoft Production. 6
