NOTE: This is the last chance to make a change to the evaluation content. NO changes can be made after clicking the Submit button. If changes are necessary, the entire evaluation up to this point must be deleted and started from the beginning of Step 1: Set Review Content

It is acceptable for the manager to wait until after meeting with the employee to submit this step, just in case changes to the evaluation arise during the discussion. If opting to do this, managers can share the evaluation content with the employee by clicking the print icon found in the left panel (found under the date range). This will allow the manager to print a paper copy or save the evaluation as a PDF to be shared with the employee. 

5. Click the Submit button once you are sure that all evaluation content is correct. 

Note: While we are learning the new system, it is suggested that managers notify the employee that a task related to the evaluation should be in their Workday task inbox. This coordination helps the business process flow timely.

Assigned To: Employee

Evaluations in Workday are a multi-step business process that flows back and forth between the manager and employee. Lack of a task in your Workday Task Inbox is not an indicator that the evaluation is complete. It could simply mean that the business process is sitting in the other individuals task inbox. To determine the status of an evaluation, refer to the performance window of the employee's profile.
