Appraisals can make - or break - your court case

Article Abstract:

Performance appraisals become either the boon or bane of companies when disgruntled employees file lawsuits against their employers for any perceived form of unfair practice such as wrongful discharge. Employee evaluation must be fair and unbiased and must be performed in good faith in order for it to serve as defense of employers against any potential undue claim. Honest assessment must be clearly documented so as to prove that anti-discrimination laws are sufficiently met. Legal entanglements may be avoided by regularly conducting written assessments. Also, supervisors must be properly trained to handle appraisal activities and must observe truthfulness and frankness. A detailed evaluation of the weaknesses of an employee should be provided to employees who should be allowed to respond to such assessments. Finally, employers must be aware of the legal implications of performance appraisals to avoid costly litigations.
