Can employees leave reviews for their own employer?

Short answer

No — reviews from current or former employees are a conflict of interest under Google's policies and aren't allowed. The same goes for the owner reviewing their own business.

Why it matters

• Conflict-of-interest reviews (staff, owners, family, competitors) violate policy and can be removed.
• Encouraging employees to post glowing reviews is a fast way to get reviews wiped and trust damaged.

If a current or former employee posts one — positive or negative — you can report it as a conflict of interest. Keep your reviews to genuine customers; it's the only base that holds up.
