Terminated ee

Good Morning All!
We recently terminated an ee due to downsizing, that had an outstanding eval (due Nov) that was never given to ee. She obviously was angry at the situation, and threatened to sue b/c of the eval. OUr policy book does have a clause that states employees will receive annual evals, but we do not discriminate with being late! We are late on all of our ees. Do you think there is a chance of any problem?
tks!

The question that needs to be asked is if this review was done on time, would it have impacted who was let go and who was retained in the downsizing?
If there would have been no change, then in my mind it should not matter.

That said, there is a lawyer for everyone so you may not find the comfort you are seeking. It seems like your company culture does not make evaluations a priority and therefore they are not important.
Also, you may want to change your handbook phraseology(?) on evaluations to something like "employee performance will be evaluated from time to time, usually on an annual basis." Your company sounds like mine....evals are often done late.
