Chapter 16 highlights the legal implications of performance management. The two critical aspects of performance management – appraisals and training – are closely linked with promotions, salary increments, bonuses, and better job opportunities and, therefore, are the subject of much debate. The chapter focuses on the challenges and concerns that human resource managers face when applying employment laws to these two aspects.
