Creating Compensation Worksheets Using Employee Groups

[former_member25713]

       In order to launch worksheets in compensation management the compensation admins go to Manage Worksheets, fill in the required information, and select an employee who sits at the top of the hierarchy in the organisation, generally the CEO. If ‘Create worksheet for Head of Planning only’ is unchecked, the worksheets are launched for all the planners in the organisation.

In some cases organisations launch their compensation worksheets based on different departments, divisions or legal entities. To launch the compensation worksheets for a specific group of employees, there is another method which makes use of Employee Groups.

For example, if the planner has direct reports working in various departments, and the worksheets have to be launched for employees working for department A, in such a situation the employee groups will be helpful and we can create a group for employees working in department A and launch the worksheet using the group.

There are certain implications when using Employee Groups to launch the worksheets:

• It will include inactive users.
