Document background
The Appraisal Letter is a crucial human resources document used in Saudi Arabian organizations to formally document employee performance evaluations. It is designed to comply with Saudi Labor Law and MHRSD guidelines, providing a structured framework for assessing employee performance, documenting achievements, and setting future objectives. This document is typically issued annually or bi-annually and serves multiple purposes including performance documentation, career development planning, and support for compensation decisions. The Appraisal Letter must be maintained in both Arabic and English versions when required, and should be retained in employee files as per Saudi Arabian employment documentation requirements. It forms a vital part of the employment record and can be referenced for various HR decisions including promotions, training needs, and performance-based compensation adjustments.
