Frequently Asked Questions
How do I record the review in Smartsheets?
Access the Smartsheets form. Complete the form by filling in the data for the performance evaluation and submit.
See the performance review completion submission process guide for more information.
Am I required to upload a performance review?
No. Uploading the performance review document is not available in the Smartsheets performance review recording process. As you have in the past, completed performance evaluations should continue to be kept on file within the unit's personnel file.
Can I delegate the recording of the review to someone else?
Yes, review completions can be recorded by someone else on your behalf. Special permissions are not required to record a performance review in Smartsheets. You can access the form on the performance review completion submission page.
How do I know what reviews have been recorded to date? Can I run a report?
Human Resources will provide to Vice Presidents, Deans, Chiefs of Staff, and Academic CFOs in early Fall term a report showing all completed reviews.
Reports can be requested from Human Resources throughout the year by emailing hrops@uoregon.edu.
When should I have all of my performance reviews done and recorded for the year?
The timing of the evaluation cycle may vary from unit to unit within the university, based on operational needs. Leadership in each department or division establishes the timeline for completion that best meets their needs. Please contact your unit/department leadership for your specific deadlines and expectations.
While often an important part of the annual salary increase cycle, performance reviews are not just about measuring or awarding salary increases. They also cultivate engagement with an employee by discussing work assignments, evaluating effectiveness, documenting achievements, communicating appreciation, and discussing areas in need of improvement, and establishing goals to guide the work ahead, including what work should continue and what work can be set aside to focus on priorities and better facilitate work-life balance.
Completed reviews should inform a unit’s decisions related to merit increases. Therefore, they should be completed and submitted by the end of October each year.
