performance review
A job appraisal is usually something that takes place once a year. It is a meeting between the manager and the employee in which they discuss the employee's performance during the previous year against a range of set competencies.
The appraisal may or may not be linked to a pay review and occasionally can be twice a year.

I think you meant to say \"please explain\", not \"please abbreviate\".
\"Abbreviate\" means to shorten a word. For example, p.t.o. is an abbreviation of \"please turn over\" (the page).

review of job requirements
as there is no context provided, there is another possible explanation - this is suggested to me by the experience of a friend of mine. It could be that the job itself, rather than the employee, is being appraised - perhaps the post has expanded beyond what one person can cope with, and perhaps certain responsibilities within the company have to be reassigned.
I dare say the asker will be able to tell us more.

: This is what I'd assume without context, too: job appraisal = job evaluation. But the term is often used (may be a country/continent thing) to mean performance appraisal (i.e. of postholder rather than post).

: At least in the US, the term is understood to mean an employee's performance review.
