Once the employee completes their part of the review, Admins and those with PDR management permissions for said employee, will receive an email alert. The review flow will depend on the stages you include, here demonstrates that you can close the review at point 3 or step 4 and even step 5.

In Person Review
You will be asked to select a date and time of the review. You can choose to request the employee complete their self-assessment ahead of the meeting and use it as part of your review or, you can fill in the form yourself in the meeting. Either way after the meeting you can choose to send feedback/summary to the employee or close the review.

Remote Review
In a remote review, the employee must fill out the self-assessment, they complete it and you will review their assessment and give feedback. In both review options, there is the option to request the employee to give any final feedback (typically responding to their managers feedback after a remote meeting). All settings are customisable both at Template level and on an individual basis.
