My company has an 'ad-hoc" pay review system.. It's a pain!
I have two directs that have been promised reviews at this time.. and I have to write a recommendation. They are both "average" performers - nothing special, but certainly not awful. I have to write a recommendation for their promised pay review.
What structure would you use to write it? (High C boss BTW).

There's a cast for that . . .
