How do I access my appraisal form on LEAP?

 

Accessing your Appraisal on LEAP

As an appraisee, simply click the current year link, e.g. "My 2025 Appraisal" from the LEAP top menu bar - as shown here. 

Both Manager/Appraisers and Appraisees can start the appraisal form. This differs from some previous years when it could only be started by the Appraisee.
