performance rating

Employee score given

A performance rating is a formal assessment of how well an employee does their job, typically expressed as a number or category: She received an "exceeds expectations" performance rating.

These ratings usually come from annual reviews and influence promotions, raises, and terminations.

The system is often criticized for subjectivity and inconsistent standards across managers.
