Performance Rubric

Use a Performance Rubric 2010 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What Performance Rubric is and how it works

Performance Rubric is a structured business document for recording an employee’s evaluation, goals, feedback, acknowledgment, and approvals. It is completed by placing the relevant names, review period, ratings, comments, and signature fields in the document, then routing it to the employee and authorized reviewers. With signNow, a sender uploads the rubric, auto-detects fillable fields, adds or confirms recipients, and sends the document electronically. Each signer reviews and signs from a browser or mobile device. The completed PDF and audit trail can then be retained under the employer’s records policy.

Performance Rubric document use cases

Human resources

Human resources teams can complete Performance Rubrics for employee reviews, manager assessments, goal updates, and acknowledgment records. Fields can capture review dates, ratings, comments, signatures, and approval history before secure filing.

Managers and employees

Managers and employees can review the same Performance Rubric online, respond to designated fields, and sign the final evaluation. Legal, finance, or compliance teams may receive copies when internal policy requires documented approval.

Best practices for Performance Rubric

Use a controlled template, deliberate routing, and secure record handling so each completed Performance Rubric remains understandable and auditable.

Separate evaluation and acknowledgment fields

Create a controlled Performance Rubric template with clearly labeled review criteria, employee acknowledgment fields, manager approval fields, and dates. Lock completed sections when appropriate so later edits do not obscure the original evaluation or change the meaning of signed responses.

Route each review participant deliberately

Use signNow’s role-based routing to send the Performance Rubric to the employee, manager, and human resources reviewer in the intended order. Confirm each recipient’s email address and permissions before sending, especially when the document contains compensation or health-related information.

Preserve the signed record and audit trail

Export the completed Performance Rubric and its audit trail after all signatures are collected. Store both files in an access-controlled personnel repository, and apply the organization’s documented retention schedule rather than deleting records from the signNow workspace informally.

Check the completed rubric before filing

Review the final PDF before filing it. Confirm that the employee name, review period, ratings, comments, signatures, and dates are present, readable, and consistent with the organization’s performance-management policy and applicable employment-record requirements.

Performance Rubric troubleshooting

Resolve access, routing, authentication, plan, and record-preservation questions before the completed Performance Rubric enters the personnel file.

On the Business plan, upload the Performance Rubric, place signature and date fields, and send it to the named reviewers. signNow provides legally binding electronic signatures, audit trails, templates, and mobile apps. ESIGN and UETA support electronic records when intent, consent, attribution, and reproducibility are established.

The Business Premium plan includes bulk send, which can distribute individualized Performance Rubrics when the same template applies to multiple employees. Confirm each recipient’s data before sending, because bulk distribution does not replace review of names, ratings, dates, or confidential comments.

A signer can authenticate through the invitation link, while stronger workflows can add SMS OTP or other available authentication controls. Configure the control before sending and retain the audit trail showing the signer’s access and completed actions.

signNow’s ESIGN_UETA compliance supports electronic signatures for U.S. business records, but it does not decide whether an employer’s performance-management policy or state employment law requires a particular notice, witness, or retention period. Review applicable policy and state requirements before deployment.

The Business plan includes audit trails and templates. Enterprise adds advanced signer authentication, while Site License offers SSO, full API access, and HIPAA or 21 CFR Part 11 add-ons. Select the plan based on required controls, not solely on document volume.

If a completed rubric is disputed, preserve the signed PDF and its audit trail together. The record should show signer identity evidence, timestamps, actions, and the final document. Access controls and retention should follow the employer’s personnel-record policy.
