Calculation Methods

If your organization rates employee performance, EmpowHR can calculate the employee’s performance rating or manually enter the ratings. ePerformance delivers three different calculation methods. Calculation methods are configurable to meet the business need.

Calculation Method

Description

Average

To use this method, the rating models associated with the section and its items must define numeric ratings that correspond to the rating descriptions. EmpowHR uses the numeric ratings to calculate a weighted average if weights exist; otherwise, it calculates a straight average. It then converts this average back to a performance document rating, again using the rating model.

Summation

To use this method, the rating models that are associated with the section and its items must define review points. The rating model for the section must also define point ranges (from points and to points). EmpowHR converts this total into the corresponding review rating for the section by using the point range on the rating model. Weights are ignored. Item ratings are not used in the summation method.

Review Band

This method is similar to the Summation method, but is only available for the Overall Summary section of a document. To use this method, the rating model that is associated with the Overall Summary section must include a performance document band and define review points as well as point ranges (from points and to points). During the calculation process, EmpowHR computes the total review points across all sections and converts this total into the equivalent rating on the document band.
