4. When everything has been answered click the Submit button. 

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. 

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. 

Click Submit When Finished

Step 3: Manager and Employee Discussion

This step of the evaluation occurs outside of Workday, therefore there is no Workday Task associated with it. It is the responsibility of the manager to schedule and lead a review discussion with the employee. Resources to aid in review discussions can be found in the Performance Management section of the Supervisor Toolkit | Develop page.
