Who Should Share Your Appraisal Results and New Salary: HR or Your Manager?

Hi All, I would like to get your opinion regarding employee appraisal: "Who should disclose employee appraisal or new salary, HR or their Manager?"

Thanks,

Please provide us with a little more information about the Performance Appraisal (PA) process in your company. How is it handled? On what parameters is performance measured? Is there a chance for self-appraisal?

The most crucial point is whether the marks awarded by the manager are disclosed during the appraisal. If employees know the marks, they should have a fair idea of how much increment to expect.

If your company has a well-designed Performance Management System (PMS), then this issue does not arise. In this scenario, points are "earned" by the junior, and the manager only validates the score calculated by the junior.

We used to mention the amount and feedback, like how it was calculated and all. However, last time, HR used to tell the employees regarding their appraisal. But I guess it is not the right thing. Managers need to do this job, right?

Thank you.

It would be beneficial if both the HR manager and the immediate manager (reporting officer) could jointly hand over the letter. This way, both of them can share their inputs/feedback with the employee.
