Completing an
“Other Rater” Appraisal for an SSP
Other Rater
Business Objective
The purpose of your contribution as an “Other Rater” is to provide feedback to colleagues during the
year-end appraisal process and to inform an SSP’s evaluator of an additional perspective on the
employee’s performance.
As part of this process you will rate the SSP and enter comments for the Evaluator to take into account
as they do final ratings and enter final comments for the SSP.
For questions about the appraisal process, please contact your HR Partner or SSP Supervisor.
