When may a ratee file an appeal if they disagree with comments and ratings?

• A. Before record
• B. After record
• C. During evaluation
• D. Never

Answer: (B)

Disagreements with comments and ratings are addressed after the record is closed and the evaluation is finalized. Once the record exists as an official, signed document, the ratee can review the rater’s wording and the assigned ratings and submit an appeal or rebuttal if they believe something is inaccurate or unfair. Trying to appeal before the record is complete or while the evaluation is still in progress isn’t possible because there isn’t an official, final document to challenge. After record timing ensures that disputes are handled on a finalized, documented basis, with a defined window to file the appeal.
