Creating an Employee Evaluation

But once you create an evaluation, you can change anything in it, including the job description that it is based on. Follow these steps.

Start up TIP and choose:

In the main menu, tell TIP what you want to start from:

Your choices are:

From Existing Job Description - Use a job description that you already have on hand.  This is the most common way of doing it.

From Existing Employee Evaluation - Use an evaluation of another employee (such as another person who has held the same job).  TIP will use the job description from that evaluation, but will ignore the information in it that identifies the employee.

From Same Employee’s Earlier Evaluation - Use this choice when you’re evaluating an employee whom you have previously evaluated, in an earlier year, for the same job.  The identifying information will be copied from the earlier evaluation, but the scores will be reset.
