Appraisal ratings for long-term absent employees (i.e. long-term sick, maternity, career break etc)

Posted by mariemomo on Mon, 23/01/2012 - 12:05

I am interested in knowing (particularly from large employers) what approach you take when appraisal rating an employee who is long-term absent either due to long term sickness, maternity, career break etc and has been for the whole of the appraisal year in question. I have the following questions I would be keen to hear views on?

Do you rate the employee as you would an employee actively at work or do you apply an unclassified rating?

Do you apply the appraisal rating that was awarded at the last appraisal they had prior to going long-term absent?

or do you apply a different approach and if so would you willing to share details of that with me

many thanks for your time

Hello! I'm a great believer in the power of stories, whether they be folk tales, novels, films or TV dramas.

They have a wonderful ability to get complex moral or social issues over to us in a palatable, easy-to-understand way and can provide many lessons if only we care to look just a little bit below the surface.

But they can also act as a fun starting point for discussion and debate on rather more serious topics that are all too often brushed under the carpet and ignored.

Hence our decision to start up a Review slot on the site to look at those everyday stories that are all around us from an HR perspective.

Although we've been publishing book reviews (take a look at our Book Club list of suggested possible non-fiction works for evaluation here) for some time, you may also have noticed that we've been running a weekly home page blog on The Apprentice courtesy of The Chemistry Group for a while now.

And Pauline Wood, managing director at specialist retail headhunter, court & spark consulting, was likewise kind enough to write our first film review on the Headhunters movie.

But the big question is, why don't you give it a go yourself? There's a world of choice out there and I, like the rest of the community, would love to hear your thoughts and insights.

So next time you watch a movie, see a TV drama or read a novel that you think has an HR message worth sharing, send your review to me at cath.everett@siftmedia.co.uk or post it directly to our blogs section at www.hrzone.co.uk/blogs.

So get critiquing and look forward to hearing from you very soon.....
