For this assignment, you will have to conduct additional research on a performance appraisal method you select in order to do the following:

Answer the following two questions after you have completed Part 2, but your answers are to be included as Part 1:

• Discuss how your performance appraisal instrument will withstand legal challenges.
  1. Discuss how you will use your performance appraisal instrument to effectively impact employee compensation.

Part 1 should be approximately 5-7 pages of text (not including cover page and reference list) and include ample scholarly and professional sources to support your key ideas

PART 2
