Review season? Write a self-evaluation that actually reads well — with a proper Employee Self-Evaluation & Performance Review the employee fills in and signs. PaperKit drafts a polished one in seconds: pick the review type — SELF-EVALUATION, ANNUAL REVIEW, 90-DAY / PROBATIONARY REVIEW, QUARTERLY CHECK-IN, or PEER REVIEW — and the whole form reshapes (the title, the framing, the competency and reflection intros, who signs, and the closing). The centerpiece is a clean COMPETENCY RATING TABLE: rate each competency on a 1–5 scale (or N/A) — Outstanding, Exceeds expectations, Meets expectations, Developing, Needs improvement — add a supporting comment, and PaperKit colors each rating and DERIVES an OVERALL AVERAGE across the rated competencies, with a scale legend right on the form. Then answer a set of REFLECTION PROMPTS — key accomplishments, goals for the next period, challenges & obstacles, development & growth, strengths, support needed, living the values, and feedback for your manager — and each one you answer becomes a tidy question & answer block. Add your own custom prompts too, an overall summary comment, and a short sign-off checklist (this is my honest assessment, it's complete and accurate, I discussed it with my manager, I agree to next period's goals, and e-signature consent). The employee is the one completing it, so THEY e-sign the hosted form online and submit it to their manager / HR — there's no second signature, and the page is set to noindex to keep it private. (This is a convenience template, not legal, HR, or professional advice — PaperKit doesn't evaluate any employee, set compensation, or make employment decisions; your organization owns its review process, and how reviews are conducted, weighted, and used vary by employer.)
The big lever — it reshapes the whole form: the title, the framing, the competency & reflection intros, who signs, and the closing.
Self-evaluation — the employee rates their own performance and reflects; they e-sign it themselves.
Rate each competency on a 1–5 scale (or N/A). PaperKit colors each rating and derives an overall average across the rated rows.
Turn on the prompts you want to answer and write your reflection — each answered prompt shows up as a question & answer block on the form. 4 answered.
Each one you turn on becomes a checked ✓ affirmation above the signature.
A real self-evaluation. The review type reshapes the title, framing and closing; your competency ratings fill a colored 1–5 table with a derived average; each reflection you answer becomes a question & answer block. Publish to get a hosted link the employee e-signs online.

An employee self-evaluation / performance review is a template for convenience, not legal, HR, or professional advice. PaperKit does not evaluate any employee, set compensation, or make employment decisions — the organization is responsible for its performance-review process and you are responsible for the accuracy of what you state. How reviews are conducted, weighted, and used varies by employer, so confirm your own policies. PaperKit is not a law firm and records electronic signature via the signer's typed name.
