[quote=Anonymous]I have a similar situation. I am the supervisor of a team of federal contractor staff who were with a different contractor a few years ago.  The team came over when my company won the bid but the old supervisor did not.  I do not have any access to former employer's records so can't do anything about the past.

I agree with the PP's who say you won't be able to change what has happened in the past and no one is going to have management issue an apology.  That just does not happen.  For one thing, an official apoology opens them up to a potential employment suit for unfair practices especially if the employee belongs to any protected class (woman or protected minority).

What I think you can do is talk to the employee, explain that you can't change the review but you have been happy with his/her work and you can assure them that you will not take that review into account for current and future reviews.  Ensure them that their record with you is clean and good and that moving forward they have a clean slate based on their good performance from recent years and reviews.  It should be sufficient for them that that is in the past and not held against them.[/quote]
