What is a characteristic for an employee? This is an official document in which the leader assesses the business and personal qualities of his subordinate. The characteristic may be requested by a court when considering an administrative or criminal case, guardianship authorities, an educational institution. The employee himself can also request, for example, to arrange for a new place or to obtain a loan.
A typical characteristic for an employee can be either positive or negative. The information that will be reflected in it should be objective, especially if the request comes from an official source. The form of writing the description is free, however, in some cases, the employer is allowed to fill out a ready form, for example, when passing ITU.
The document must indicate: the position of the employee, the name of the company, from what year he has been working. Further information depends on where the characterization of the employee is required. If in court - it is necessary to focus on the personal qualities of a person, on his relationship with colleagues and superiors. A detailed listing of his duties in this case would be inappropriate. And vice versa, if the characteristic goes to a new workplace, it is not worth describing in 3 pages how sensitive and understanding the person in the former team showed himself.
An example of a characteristic for an employee: Dipeshina Irina Romanovna, on June 18, 1999, was accepted for the position of seller-consultant at LLC Tekhnika dlya doma. Her responsibilities included: consulting customers, laying out goods, changing price tags, periodic inventory, issuing and checking goods, escorting the buyer to the checkout, issuing an extract. Also Dipeshina I.R. had to monitor the cleanliness of price holders, shelves and goods on display. She coped with her duties promptly and in full. During her time at LLC Tekhnika dlya Doma, she proved herself to be a responsible, diligent, punctual, proactive, energetic and creative employee. From 1999 to 2003, Irina Romanovna repeatedly attended continuing education courses. For 4 years, she 8 times became the best seller of the month and 1 time - the best seller of the year. Dipeshina I.R. easily finds a common language with people, skillfully resolves conflict situations. Relations with colleagues are smooth and friendly. The characteristic for the employee is given at the place of presentation.
Do not forget about the responsibility that the manager assumes by signing a positive or negative characteristic. If the boss responds about his employee as an optional person, then this employee may be denied credit, at a new workplace, or, more seriously, adoption. If, on the contrary, the boss responds positively about a person dishonorable, quick-tempered, non-polite, he can let down a new employer, who, guided by a good review, will provide him with a job.
If we are talking about the deprivation of rights, if there is a positive characteristic, you can mitigate the punishment and get off with a minimum fine. To do this, you need to make a postscript in the description that the work of an employee is of a traveling nature and that deprivation of rights threatens a person with dismissal. Alternatively, indicate that the place of work is at a considerable distance from the place of residence, and there is no regular communication between them. Therefore, a lost employee will be forced to resign from this place. The fact that he is the sole breadwinner of the family or that he has dependent children, will play in his favor, therefore, should also be mentioned. If the judge sees that he is in front of a responsible, positive person who has stumbled by negligence, he will surely go to a meeting.
