indian companies, generally have a apraisal scheme based on the last four months i.e dec, jan, feb and march, some times we poor employees dont get the required results and hence,the performance of even the last 8 months is forgotten. very few companies have a documented appraisal system were the business that you log in for the whole year automatically decides your own appraisal. thats the problem faced by all employees, and thats the advantage taken by employers. i demand that appraisals should be based on documented parameters and not on the whims of my boss. even if my boss were to resign in march and a new person takes over, my appraisal should not be effected as the system has documented my performance. as a employee i would like to ask my bosses for the documents they considered for not appraising me on time.and i am sure they have none. hence appraisal = documented parameters for the desired results. if our employeer dosent have this system we will always be the "left outs"
