When considering evaluation forms, once a regular performance appraisal has been established, the employee becomes comfortable with the process, and a formal written process may be added. A great place to get free evaluation forms is here, evaluation forms. Do remember that a formal written procedure may be used effectively with new employees.  The following three pages present a sample performance appraisal form. If some sections do not apply to the situation, they can be modified or deleted altogether.   Most managers complain about the employee review process being too cumbersome and saddled with forms that are too long.  Keeping the form to one or two pages can be a huge relief for managers and senior leaders who don’t want managers spending hours upon hours filling out the paperwork.
