As team leader of 7 people, I'll have to run the evaluation process with each of them.
For few of them, the past year was not really a good year (from my point of view) as I had to correct them multiple time. Most of these mistakes lead to a lot of wasted time as they had to re-do their entire work.
As it's always easier to see the "bad things" than the "good things", I wanted to take a step back and ask them to present me their summary of the year/why should they deserve a bad-good-very good evaluation.
This would allow me to avoid forgetting the good things (as I suppose they'll focus on that :)). At the end, I'll still have to complete the evaluation form myself but with a more objective eye (I hope)
Do you consider it as a good (or bad) thing to ask them for their self-evaluation? What could be the (positives/negatives) drawbacks?
Note that this evaluation is directly linked with their (paid) bonus
Thanks!

@mhoran_psprep, the policy is very formal and a process already exist but it's way too "closed" and doesn't let the opportunity to correctly judge it.

If you offer them a self-appraisal, they will expect a self-appraisal. They will also likely spend a fair amount of time on it.
I would suggest that you advertise this as a collaborative assessment, book a meeting and ask them to prepare for it. Let them know that you expect them to make a case for a good review, and that you will discuss the final appraisal result.
Doing this means they are more likely to prepare properly, and it will not erode trust in you when you have critiques after they submit their own self-evaluation.

Do you consider it as a good (or bad) thing to ask them for their
self-evaluation? What could be the (positives/negatives) drawbacks?
Overall it's a good thing. But it does set some expectations. Make sure those expectations are clear and that you follow through completely.
Explain ahead of time what you are doing and why. Make sure you clearly communicate that you will be writing up the final review, but that you value their input. Make sure that you explain that it is your job to write the formal evaluation, not theirs, and that you are looking for their help.
Decide ahead of time if their self-evaluation will be filed along with your evaluation. And decide ahead of time if they will be allowed to formally comment on your final evaluation or not.
Some employees will welcome the chance to help you consider all the details of the past year as you prepare your evaluation. Unfortunately, these will likely be the employees who will be getting a "good" evaluation and a good raise.
Other employees will take this as sign that you don't really understand or value the work that they do and will attempt to use this self-evaluation as a counter to your critical evaluation or as a way to blunt the negative aspects of their work This group will include those employees who had "not really a good year".
Hopefully, you have a one-on-one meeting to review their self-evaluation in which you go over their points, ask for any needed clarification, thank them for their input, and remind them how the rest of the process will go.
And hopefully, you have another one-on-one meeting to review your final evaluation report. In it you can review the year including both what went well and what needs improvement. If their self-evaluation was very rosy and your evaluation wasn't here is where you need to be able to be open and honest with your feedback. This can be a difficult conversation - be very prepared.
Encourage your team members to keep track of their accomplishments throughout the upcoming year, to use as input into next year's evaluation.
Since at least parts of this process appears to be new, you may want to talk to HR about it before you start. They would likely have some guidance on how to do this effectively in your shop. They may even have some requirements regarding what you will be permitted to do and what you will not be permitted to do. Many companies have a standard evaluation process and wouldn't permit deviations.
You may also want to run this past your boss. Some bosses wouldn't want part of their team evaluated one way while the rest are evaluated a different way.
Think it all through completely before you start. And make sure everyone understands what you are doing and why.

what is the companies policy regarding reviews? Some have a very formal process, others no process for doing reviews.

Are you a new leader? Have you not been tracking all their work (both the "good things" as well as the "bad things") all year?

@mhoran_psprep, the policy is very formal and a process already exist but it's way too "closed" and doesn't let the opportunity to correctly judge it.

@JoeStrazzere, it's the second evaluation review (so second year) and I'd like to improve my previous experience :). Besides, the team is young and new in the company so it'll be the first review for most of them. I did but my fear is to misjudge them by forgetting something.
