This article is for employees who need to complete a self-evaluation for a performance review in Gusto.
Performance reviews are included in the Plus and Premium plans. Companies that already have the Performance add-on keep it—the add-on is no longer offered to new customers. If you think your company should have this feature but you cannot access it, reach out to your admin. They can upgrade at any time in Gusto.
Here’s an overview of the performance review process:
Admins set up review cycles.
Admins assign reviewers (usually your manager).
Reviewers and admins can:
Track progress on reviews.
View your goals and feedback during your review.
Your employer may share review results in a few ways:
In Gusto
Available in the Performance section of your profile
In person
Another way
Reviewers can add a summary after reviews are shared.
Summaries can include feedback from the review, action items, meeting notes, and more.
