Available to: Managers assigned as reviewers in a Patriot HR performance review cycle, with completed employee portal access.
As a reviewer in a Patriot HR performance review cycle, you write a manager review for each employee assigned to you and share the final review with the employee. You write and share performance reviews in the Patriot employee portal.
The Team Reviews page lists each employee you're reviewing, with their status and due date. Use the tabs to filter the list:
All Reviews
Not yet completed
Ready for your review: Employees who have submitted their self-assessment.
Patriot emails you when an employee submits their self-assessment.
A banner on the Team Reviews page also shows how many reviews are ready for you and when they're due.
If you're also included in the cycle as an employee, a Your Review card on the Team Reviews page links to your own self-assessment.
Step 1: Write a manager review for a direct or indirect report
Log into your employee portal.
Go to My Team > Team Reviews.
Select Write review on the Team Reviews page, next to the employee name.
Read the employee's self-assessment answers, which appear beside your answer fields. You can start your manager review before the employee submits; the employee's answers appear once they submit.
Answer each question. Your answers save automatically as you type, and you can select Save as draft to come back later.
If the manager review due date passes, a past-due banner appears on the Team Reviews page. You can still submit and share until your company ends the cycle.
Each answer field shows whether the employee will see your answer. Questions in the section labeled "Reviewer & admins – the employee will not see this" are visible only to you and your company's admins.
Step 2: Submit Your Review for Admins
You can submit a manager review after the employee submits their self-assessment and you've answered every question.
Select Submit.
After you submit a manager review, your company's admins can see it, but the employee can't see it until you share it.
Choose Share Now to share the review with the employee right away, or Share Later to share it after you've had a chance to meet or review it.
To make changes before sharing, select Unsubmit & edit.
Step 3: Share a Performance Review with Your Team Member
To share a submitted performance review,
Go to My Team > Team Reviews.
Click the link that reads “Review and Share”
Click the Share now button at the bottom of the review. Patriot emails the employee that their review is ready. Sharing a performance review is permanent: you can't unshare or edit the review after you share it.
After you share, the review shows "Waiting for [employee] to acknowledge" until the employee acknowledges it. The status then changes to Acknowledged.
How to Download a Team Member's Performance Review as a PDF
You can download a performance review as a PDF after you share it.
Go to My Team > Team Reviews.
Open the review and select Download PDF
Choose Save as PDF in your browser's print window. Your PDF includes all questions, including the questions only reviewers and admins can see.
How to View Your Team's Past Performance Reviews
To view reviews from a past cycle, log in to the employee portal, go to My Team > Team Reviews, and choose the cycle from the cycle dropdown. Past cycles are read-only.
