An ad-hoc evaluation is a one-off or as-needed quick assessment method used to evaluate your employees. It can be designated for an individual employee, multiple employees, team(s), job title(s), or tag(s) by choosing the correct evaluator(s). This type of ‘Evaluation template’ can also be used again by changing the parameters, such as the Send date and the evaluation period within the template.
A Periodic Evaluation, on the other side, is an assessment method that is designed to regularly evaluate employees on pre-selected result areas and cadence. The frequency of a Periodic Evaluation can be daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, yearly or can be custom defined as needed.
