Complete self-evaluations for performance reviews (for employees)

• Administrators set up a review/review cycle
  • Admins assign “reviewers” (typically a manager) for each employee—both reviewers and admins can view your self-evaluations. 
• Admins and reviewers can see the performance review progress
  • Admins and reviewers have access to a dashboard showing if self-evaluations and reviewer evaluations have been completed.
  • Reviewers will be able to see your goals while filling out their review.
  • Reviewers will be able to see any feedback you've received while filling out their review.
• Your admin or reviewer may share the feedback directly in Gusto, in person, or in some other fashion. 
  • After your self-evaluation is complete, it’s up to your admin and/or reviewer to decide if and when to share the review(s).
  • If a review has been shared with you in Gusto, you can access it from the Performance section of your account. 
• Reviewers/managers can add a summary after reviews have been shared
  • Summaries may include feedback from the review, action items, meeting notes, etc.

Once admins create a review cycle, you’ll receive an email with a request to complete your self-evaluation. You’ll also see a reminder on your Dashboard that takes you to a new Performance section in Gusto. 

1. Click the Dashboard sticky to take you to the new Performance page in Gusto—you can also go directly to the Performance section of your account.
   • You’ll be able to see current review cycles, and over time, past ones as well. 
2. Click into the applicable current review cycle.
3. Enter your response to the prompt(s), and click Submit.
   • Max character limit: 65,000 characters
4. Confirm your submission by clicking Submit again—once sent, answers cannot be edited or taken back.  

Once you’ve completed your self-evaluation, you’ll be able to view your response in the Performance section by clicking into the specific cycle.

If an admin or reviewer shares the full review (including the reviewer response) in Gusto with you, you’ll be able to see all responses in the same location.

1. Head to the Performance section.
2. Click View next to the review cycle you want to view.
