Are your Annual Performance Appraisals

working for you or against you?

There’s a right way and a wrong way to write a performance appraisal

How you write a performance appraisal is about improving performance and rewarding achievements. It needs to be so much more than a way a manager “gets even” or a reason not to pay out bonuses. It is doubtful that anyone truly enjoys the performance review season because of the numerous ways the review is so often misunderstood and misapplied. Actually, such an annual review of performance is part of a great set of tools you can use to bring out the best in your employees and rewarding them for excellent work well done if you understand the importance of the process and the methods for properly carrying out better employee relations.

Review performance review examples and find one to bring out the best qualities as they relate to your business. There are a number of performance review examples and templates on the site to help get you started.

Employees need to rethink

"disabled worker" definition

By: Mark Ogden Phoenix Business Journal

Starting January 1, 2009 employers will need to rethink their understanding of what a disabled worker is and how they should be treated in the workplace. The ADAAA, an amended version of the ADA or Americans with Disabilities Act, states that employees who have been able to deal with their disabilities such as an artificial limb or medication are no longer covered under the original act. They must now be treated and evaluated as though he or she has not managed the impairment. According to the article a person is in violation of this law if "treated adversely-not hired, passed over for promotion, paid less etc." Make sure you review your employee handbooks and update it so its consistent with new laws, provide training to the appropriate personnel, and be careful of more lawsuits to be filed now that it is easier for applicants and employees to claim discrimination.
