How does the 90-day performance review score work?

The overall score (0–100) is calculated as the weighted sum of competency ratings (1–5). Each rated competency adds to the total based on its percentage weight.

Does this 30-60-90 review builder save employee data online?

No. All entered data, reviews, and draft logs are stored locally in your browser's localStorage. No information is transmitted to external servers, protecting employee privacy.

What is the target days clock and period progress chip?

The clock compares the days elapsed since the hire date against the target period (e.g., 30, 60, or 90 days). If the review date occurs before 80% of the target, it flags "Early." If it passes 110% of the target, it flags "Late."

Can I customize the competencies and their weights?

Yes. You can add, edit, or remove competencies (minimum 4, maximum 10). The weights must sum to approximately 100% (within a tolerance of ±0.5%) for the completeness audit checks to pass.

Q: How is the suggested recommendation calculated?

The tool suggests a recommendation based on the overall rating and goal completion: "Confirm in role" for scores >= 75 with no missed goals; "Additional support" for scores 55-74.9 or any missed/at-risk goals; "Extend review period" for scores 45-54.9 or early reviews; and "Do not continue" for scores below 45.

Guide: Designing & Administering Introductory Performance Reviews

Introductory reviews—conducted at milestones such as 30, 60, or 90 days—align a new team member and the business on expectations, core job skills, and initial objectives. By implementing a structured, rating-based review desk, managers reduce subjective evaluation bias and ensure clear, actionable outcomes.

Understanding the Scorecard & Target Clocks

This assessment engine calculates key metrics automatically based on your inputs:

Overall Competency Score: Competency ratings (1 to 5) are multiplied by their assigned weights. The total score is the sum of these weighted evaluations: overall = sum((rating / 5) * weight). When all weights sum to 100%, the overall rating results in a clean score between 0 and 100. If rating values are left blank, they do not contribute to the score, and a completeness warning is triggered.
Introductory Period Target Clock: The system automatically compares the days in role against the selected target period. If a review is held early (less than 80% of target days) or late (more than 110% of target days), warning flags alert the supervisor to verify scheduling alignment.
Objectives Completion Rate: Calculated as the proportion of active objectives marked as "On track" or "Exceeded". This highlights concrete output separate from qualitative competency evaluations.

Establishing Suggested Recommendation Bands

The system computes a suggested hiring action based on both competency scores and objective milestones to ensure structural consistency:

Confirm in role: Recommended for overall scores of 75% or higher, provided there are no missed objectives.
Additional support: Recommended for overall scores between 55% and 74.9%, or if any active objective is flagged as "At risk" or "Missed" (and the score is 45% or higher).
Extend review period: Recommended for overall scores between 45% and 54.9%, or if the assessment is held early (below 80% of target days).
Do not continue: Recommended for overall scores below 45%.

Probation Review Best Practices

Communicate Milestones Early: Agree on expectations and core competency weights during the onboarding phase. Introduce the checklist format immediately so the employee knows how performance is measured.
Document Specific Incidents: Provide examples in the comments area for competency ratings. Back up ratings with objective observations, avoiding generic feedback.
Separate Objectives from Competencies: An employee may possess strong job knowledge (competency) but fall behind on a specific process change (objective) due to external delays. Evaluate both sections independently to isolate growth needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 90-day performance review?

A 90-day performance review is an operational assessment conducted at the end of a new hire's introductory or probationary period to evaluate goal progress, core competencies, and determine future role fit.

Does this review tool save employee data online?

No. All entered data, reviews, and draft logs are stored locally in your browser's session and storage. No information is transmitted to external servers, protecting employee privacy.

How is the suggested recommendation calculated?

The suggested recommendation is determined by combining the overall competency score and goal statuses. Higher scores with no missed goals suggest continuing in the role, while lower scores or missed goals suggest extra training or extending the review.

Can I export the completed review?

Yes. You can download the entire evaluation as a CSV file for spreadsheet analysis, copy the summary text to your clipboard, or print the page to save as a PDF.

What is the completeness check?

The completeness score tracks whether all required fields (such as employee name, manager name, dates, at least four competencies, and one goal) are filled out. This ensures the review package is fully documented before signing.
