How is the objectives score calculated in a performance evaluation?

The calculation of the final score depends on whether or not you haveintegrated objectivesin the evaluation settings. Here I explain both cases:

🔹 With integrated objectives:

If you integrated objectives into the performance evaluation, the score is calculated as aweighted averageaccording to the weight assigned to each type of evaluation (for example, downward, self-assessment, etc.).

Steps:

1. Make sure the objectives are integrated into the evaluation.
2. If you want to allow overachievement, verify that the evaluation scales are configured with an overachievement option.
3. Calculate the weighted score with the formula:score obtained * weight percentage
4. Add the results of each evaluation to obtain the final score.

Example:

• Downward evaluation: 90% score, with 60% weight → 90 * 0.6 = 54
• Self-assessment: 110% score, with 40% weight → 100 * 0.4 = 40
• Final score:54 + 40 = 94%

🔸 If any score exceeds 100%, the maximum score defined in the results scale is still assigned. Overachievement does not impact the employee's final score, but it is reflected as an indicator in the evaluation results report.
 

🔹 Without integrated objectives:

In this case, the score is calculated using thepercentage scaleconfigured.

Steps:

1. Check the maximum percentage defined in the configuration (for example: 100, 120, or 150).
2. Evaluate the employee according to that maximum value.
3. Calculate the score of each evaluation as:(evaluated value / maximum percentage) * 100
4. Apply the corresponding weight to each evaluation and add the results to obtain the final score.

📌Important: If you change the maximum percentage, you also change the value used to obtain the maximum score. For example, if you set the maximum percentage to150, then you mustevaluate with 150for the employee to get a 100% on their score. If you evaluate them with 120, their score will be (120 / 150) * 100 = 80%.

Example of final calculation with maximum percentage 100%:

• Downward evaluation: 90%, weight 50% → 90 * 0.5 = 45
• Self-assessment: 100%, weight 25% → 100 * 0.25 = 25
• Parallel evaluation: 80%, weight 25% → 80 * 0.25 = 20
• Final score:45 + 25 + 20 = 90%

🔸If an evaluation is made with a value that represents more than 100%, the maximum score defined in the results scale is assigned. There is no overachievement.
