Note: The assessor selector must have the permission to select peers and reviewers. The constraints on this permission determine who the assessor selector can select for the competency assessment. Also, peer group availability is set by the administrator in Employee Relationships. If the user does not have the permission to select peers and reviewers, an error pop-up appears, alerting them that they are not able to select assessors.
    • There is no limitation or constraint on selecting external peers.
    • Any changes to the assessor selector's permissions or constraints after the assessors are selected have no affect on the selection. Once an assessor is selected, the selection is considered final.

Assignment Notes for Administrators:

  • If a task is created to assess users against a specific competency model, all users in the task availability are included in the task whether they are mapped to the competency model or not.
  • If a task is created to include competency models based on organizational unit (OU) type, then a user may not be evaluated in the task if they are not associated with any competency models.
    • If the competency model assignment is based on position and the employee has no defined position, then no competency assessment is assigned for the employee.
    • If the competency model assignment is based on position but the employee's position has no associated competency model, then no competency assessment is assigned for the employee.
  • If the competency model assignment is based on group and an employee belongs to multiple groups that are mapped to differing competency models, the system assigns the competency model for the group to which the user was most recently added.
