Do you allow employees to make copies of their performance reviews? They have seen them and signed them but the question came up of them making and keeping a copy. Would it be better to only allow them to come to the HR department and look at the form?

We always allow employees to keep a copy of they wish.

Everywhere I've ever worked I was given a copy of my annual review for my records. I did the same for my employees. Once the review is signed by both employee and manager, the original goes to HR, a copy is made for the manager's files and a copy is given to the employee.

Same here (at least, with my department; I don't know about the other departments).

Why wouldn't you allow the employee to have a copy? It's not like it is some kind of secret document.

I'd be very suspicious of my employer if they did not give me a copy of my own review.

I too would be concerned if my employer would not allow me to maintain a copy of my review. Makes no sense. Employees should be entitled to a copy of anything that is in their file that they acknowledged (signed).

Our reviews had a place for the employee to acknowledge receiving a copy. Our goals for the upcoming review period were part of the annual review package, so employees were encouraged to look at the review periodically to keep on track.

I have my employees complete the same review form on themselves that I complete on them - we take at least an hour or so and discuss - I get a copy of theirs and they get a copy of mine - and we discuss that review at the next one - - how are they doing on their goals, etc....

Employees always have a right to a copy of their annual review.
They have a record of their score and it helps the employee to fulfill his/her goals for the next year.
