Complete your probation feedback

Quick answer

  • From ESS, go to Employment ▸ Probation Review when assigned.
  • Read your manager's ratings and comments, then add your own feedback for each competency.
  • Click Submit to finalise.

After your manager submits their probation review, the workflow routes it to you for your response. You will receive a notification when your feedback is due.

  1. Open the probation review

    From the ESS portal, go to Employment ▸ Probation Review (the review appears here when it is assigned to you for feedback).
