What is the 3-level signoff sequence?
The signoff sequence is: (1) Appraisor (2) HLM (3) Appraisee It is important to have the Appraisee signing off last, as that then “locks” the appraisal so that the Appraisor and HLM (Higher Level Manager) cannot go back and change the contents of the appraisal and their final comments afterwards – with the appraisee potentially unaware of this. This sequence is the only one that guarantees the Appraisee’s protection and peace of mind that nothing can be changed after their signoff. Even if an Administrator should UNDO all the signoffs, the Appraisee has to sign off (last) again NOTE: The Appraisee cannot access the Official Appraisal or Summary/POP forms until the HLM has signed off.
