I've been reading up on performance reviews(appraisals if you like) and I get the impression that there is a camp out there that would have a company use a different review form for each job. I think this makes sense since you are trying to review what the employee actually does, but I don't think I've ever heard of any one doing that.
Can I get some feedback from the group? Do you have a review form for each job class?

It is obviously simpler/easier to use the same form for all employees, but what I did for one of our companies was the first page was the same for all employees. Then the second page was their actual job description essential tasks -- which were already written and they had signed off on at hire. The third page was prior and current goals.
For that company, job descriptions are so different that it was very hard to come up with a consistent across the board simple review.

We have a standard, generic form for most of our jobs, but specific forms for our direct labor positions. A total of 10 -12 different forms. The direct labor forms are very task specific where the generic form has broad categories (quality of work, quantity of work, safety, effectiveness wiht others, etc...)

We have a standard format used across all positions, and then an addendum that is job specific.

We use a format that requires the mgr to write three primary critical achievements and 4-6 secondary ones for the employee. The format is the same for all but the specifics are different.
Pluses would include having a customized review which should accurately reflect the employees performance.
Minuses are that it takes time to write the goals and some managers who prefer simple check lists balk at having to think so hard.

Those I have used with greatest success have been much like what mtaylor uses. We have organization wide core competencies that everyone is evaluated on and then job specific ones.
