If the performance appraisal period is from April to March, I would like to clarify if an employee who joins in January would be eligible for an appraisal in April, considering they would have only been with the organization for three months. Additionally, if an employee joins in November or December, would they also be eligible for an appraisal in April? Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance.

It will not be fair and fine on the part of management to review an employee's performance during his stint with the company for a meager period of 3 months. In such cases, you can postpone his appraisal review to the next year in April.

Hi,

This was discussed in recent threads.

If the effective date of the appraisal will be the 1st of April every year, then an employee who joined in January will not be eligible for the appraisal as they have just completed 3 months of service with the organization. The process is that they need to wait until the next appraisal cycle. They can either be considered for the next April appraisal, or once they complete one year by the end of December, an interim hike can be given, followed by another hike by April, thereby linking them to the regular appraisal cycle.

The same applies to other categories. Those who joined in November can be rewarded with an interim hike after completing one year.

Instead of giving interim hikes on a monthly basis, fix a common month and address all the in-between cases there.

If someone salary already increased in Sept 2022 .then his salary will also increase in April 2023?

Hi,

An increment issued by Sep 22 will be a mid-increment. In order to bring the employee to the regular cycle, one additional hike can be given by April 2023.

The hidden concept is to pay the yearly hike in two slots. There can be some variance in numbers if the employee is a good performer.

Though the appraisal cycle, in this case, is limited to three months, yet to forgo the process will not be proper. Hence, take short-term projects likely to be over by the end of the regular performance cycle. Still better, for the KRAs going beyond such date, fix certain milestones to be attained by the end of March. Then the regular performance cycle could be followed for the rest of it.

It is suggested that the increment date be fixed as a particular date in June & December of every year. For all the in-between joinees, it could be the preceding or succeeding fixed date as is the policy in this regard.

If an employee joins the organization in January, they would not typically be eligible for an appraisal in April due to having worked for only three months. Similarly, employees who join in November or December would also not be eligible for an April appraisal. The standard practice is to complete a full performance cycle, typically from April to March, before becoming eligible for an appraisal.

However, organizations may have their own policies regarding appraisal eligibility, so it's best to refer to company guidelines for accurate information.

Eligibility for appraisal typically depends on company policy. Employees joining in January may not qualify due to insufficient tenure, as many organizations require a minimum period, such as six months. For November or December joiners, some companies may offer pro-rated appraisals or include them in the next cycle. It's best to consult the HR guidelines for clarity.
