Overview

This process uploads Performance Rating and Completion Dates into Workday for those CSUs that did not complete performance appraisals in Workday.

The Performance Appraisal Mass Transaction Process does not include document upload functionality. If you want to upload performance-related documents to Workday, use the Review Template named Annual Performance Appraisal (Document Attachment Only) in Workday.

  - Does Not Meet Expectations
  - Does Not Meet Some Expectations
  - Meets Expectations
  - Exceeds Some Expectations

Do not remove columns that are included in the report.
Do not change the order of the columns that are included in the report.

Approval Process via DocuSign

CSU-initiated mass processes now require the submission of an approval form via DocuSign. We are requiring this additional step to improve our compliance with internal audit findings regarding the approval of mass processing requests.

How to submit your spreadsheet for processing

All completed spreadsheets should be loaded to your CSU Mass Processes - <CSU Name> - Performance folder in UTBOX by an HR Executive. If you have questions about UTBOX folder access, contact askUS@austin.utexas.edu.
Files should be named with <CSU><DATE>_Performance Appraisal Load RPT0935<anything additional>.xlsx
- Example: ENGR_20200501_Performance Appraisal Load RPT0935.xlsx
After the ratings are uploaded into Workday, a member of eBITS will notify the CSU submitter and move the submission file and a results file to the Archive folder.

Note: If an employee is receiving appraisals for more than one position prior to the upload, the start date of each additional appraisal will be moved to one day later as multiple appraisals cannot be uploaded with the same start date for all of them.
