Performance Evaluation Signatures via Acrobat Sign

Revised 10-14-2024

ELR is here to help! Contact us at elr@csus.edu or (916) 278-6169.

All Evaluators are required to use Acrobat Sign for obtaining signatures on finalized performance evaluations.

All performance evaluations must be submitted to ELR through Acrobat Sign by using the appropriate Evaluator User Guide below. The workflow includes the Acrobat Sign system sending a copy of the finalized signed performance evaluation directly to ELR. This is the most secure way of obtaining signatures on finalized performance evaluations during this virtual/teleworking environment.

NOTE: The general workflow process has been updated so that signatures on performance evaluations are now obtained in this order:

Evaluator >> Reviewing Officer (or Rater or HEERA designated Manager) >> Employee

The workflow chart has been updated to reflect this change.
