Rating Scales measure an employee's performance level and are displayed as a dropdown list on the evaluation. You may associate multiple Rating Scales with a single Evaluation Period.

You can only associate one Rating Scale with each Category. However, you can define unique code definitions when setting up Categories, Elements and Sub-Elements. See the Add Categories to the Category Bank article for more information.
