The Performance Appraisal Manual serves as the foundational document for managing employee performance evaluations within organizations operating in Malaysia. It is designed to ensure compliance with Malaysian employment legislation while providing a structured framework for fair and objective performance assessment. The manual becomes necessary when organizations need to standardize their performance evaluation processes, establish clear metrics for employee assessment, and ensure legal compliance in performance management. It includes comprehensive guidelines on evaluation criteria, rating methodologies, documentation requirements, and appeal procedures, all aligned with Malaysian employment laws including the Employment Act 1955 and Personal Data Protection Act 2010. The document is particularly crucial for organizations seeking to implement transparent and equitable performance management systems while maintaining legal compliance in the Malaysian context.
