What happens if a manager is changed during an ongoing review cycle?

Sometimes, an employee's manager changes mid-way through an evaluation cycle.

Updated this week

This scenario is handled differently depending on whether the previous manager had already completed their manager review of the employee.
​

  1. If the previous manager had not completed their review 📝
    ​

    • Any in-progress or draft review from the old manager is discarded.
      ​

    • A new manager review request is created for the new manager. The new manager becomes responsible for completing the manager review, which will be found under 'My reviews' > 'Manager reviews'
      ​

2. If the previous manager had already completed their review ✅:

  • The completed review is preserved.
    ​

  • The new manager does not receive a new request to complete a review.
    ​

  • The new manager can view the old manager’s completed review under 'Team Reviews' for the employee by clicking the eye icon under 'actions'
    ​


    Note: This completed review will not appear under 'My Reviews' > 'Manager reviews' for the new manager. It must be accessed from 'Team reviews'
