Performance Management for Workers with Multiple Performance Eligible Positions
In Workday, Performance Management is tied to the primary job. When an employee holds multiple performance eligible positions, performance feedback is solicited from the manager of the non-primary job to be included in the ratings section of the evaluation. The employee, primary manager, and non-primary manger(s) may all have a role to play in this process, depending on the circumstances, and will receive Workday tasks accordingly. It is imperative that these tasks are acted upon in a timely fashion to keep the business processes flowing and ensure evaluations are completed by the deadline.
Get Feedback for Review (Employee)
For employees with more than one performance-eligible position, once the manager of the primary job submits the Set Review Content task, two tasks kick off simultaneously within the employee’s task inbox.
| Task | Job | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Self Evaluation | Primary Job | standard for all employee evaluations |
| Get Feedback for Review | Non-Primary Job(s) | only for employees with multiple performance eligible positions |
The Get Feedback for Review task will prompt the employee to enter the name of their non-primary manager and submit the request for feedback.
How do I know which job is non-primary?
To identify which job is primary and which is non-primary, employees can reference their employee profile in Workday.
Employee Profile > Job > All Jobs
The non-primary job will have a (+) symbol after the position title as shown below.

Give Feedback (Manager)
Once the employee submits the Get Feedback for Review task, the non-primary manager receives the task Give Feedback task in their Workday task inbox. Managers are expected to be in the habit of regularly monitoring their Workday task inbox and should respond to task promptly to keep business processes flowing timely.
Once the non-primary manager opens the task, they are prompted to answer two questions:
- What is the additional job?
- How would you rate the employee’s performance?
Once submitted by the non-primary manager, the primary manager will see the non-primary manager responses when they reach the Complete Manager Evaluation step of the evaluaiton.
Please contact your HR Team if you have questions regarding this process and the requirements.
