A Performance appraisal system for managing the promotion and demotion of employees

Abstract

Promotion of employees at work increases the productivity of the organization. It also enables competent employees to get the chance to be retained in the organization and it also helps the organization to focus on talented employees. Demotion of employees on the other hand is used as a disciplinary tool in most organizations. Promotion and demotion of employees is done by the Human Resource Manager and other times the director of that particular department is involved. Due to cases of favouritism, corruption and seniority at work, a system is required to help handle the situation. The aim of the system is to provide a fair method for the promotion and demotion of employees. The system uses weighed points, arithmetic, and logical operations to rank the employees for either promotion or demotion positions. Rapid Application Development (RAD) is the methodology that was used to develop the system. The system was developed using Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) scripting language, Hypertext Markup Language(HTML) for the standard mark-up language and Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) for styling. My Structured Query Language (MySQL) is the database management system that was used by the system. The system ranks employees and aids in finding a fit employee for a particular position. The system has helped promote fairness at work and hence employees are determined to put in ore effort as they work
