New Feature/Enhancements
Performance Evaluations Can Recur on the Employee’s Promotion Date
You can now schedule automatically recurring performance evaluations based on employee promotion dates.
We added the Promotion Date to the User Profile. To edit a user’s promotion date, go to the user’s profile and click the Edit icon under the Employee Settings section.

We added an option for performance evaluations to recur on the promotion date, similar to hire dates and program start dates. You can set this in any Performance Program. Go to Program Settings > Forms and select your evaluation form.

Value
You gain the ability to automatically trigger evaluations based on promotions and review cycles, reducing manual tracking and ensuring compliance with agency timelines. This increases efficiency, accuracy, and customer satisfaction.
Audience
- Site Administrators & Coordinators: Can configure performance evaluations to recur based on employee’s promotion date.
