The Performance Appraisal Manual serves as the primary reference document for implementing and maintaining a consistent performance management system within organizations operating under Maltese jurisdiction. This document is essential when establishing or updating formal performance evaluation processes, ensuring compliance with Malta's employment laws while promoting fair and objective assessment practices. The manual typically includes comprehensive guidelines on evaluation criteria, rating systems, documentation requirements, and appeal procedures, all aligned with local regulatory requirements including the Employment and Industrial Relations Act and Data Protection Act. It should be implemented when organizations need to establish clear performance management protocols, require standardization across departments, or are seeking to enhance their existing appraisal processes.
