Which of the following is necessary for the completion of the performance appraisal writing process,so that decisions about pay,promotion,or termination can be made?

A) Objective voice
B) Identifying opportunities for improvement
C) Up-to-date job descriptions
D) Coaching
E) Documentation

Documentation is necessary for making decisions about pay, promotion, or termination because it provides evidence of an employee's performance and can be used to justify those decisions. Without adequate documentation, decisions may be seen as arbitrary or unfair. Objective voice, identifying opportunities for improvement, up-to-date job descriptions, and coaching are all important aspects of the performance appraisal process, but they are not specifically necessary for making decisions about pay, promotion, or termination.
