Explaining the Route Maps Process

Once the Compensation Form Template is configured for the compensation cycle, the forms are launched. The Route Map determines the chain of approvals and reviews.

While the Executive Review offers an alternative method of reviewing, compensation planners are notified in their To-Do tile on the Home page that they have compensation planning to complete.

A Route Map determines the workflow a compensation worksheet will follow. When recommendations are entered, the form is routed through a configurable approval process. The worksheet moves from planner(s) to approver(s), sometimes going back and forth a couple of times between two employees until it is complete.

Planning in SAP SuccessFactors Compensation centers around a compensation planner’s team. However, visibility into the entire process and all planning can be gained through Executive Review.

Managers with Executive Review privileges can review compensation recommendations across their areas of responsibility and down the hierarchy without opening individual forms. In this way, they can gain knowledge of compensation planning but do not necessarily have to be part of the route map approval process. Managers can use Executive Review to ensure employee and team equity and review budget allocations.

Executive Review can be configured as read-only or with edit privileges. Edit privileges allow adjustments to individual employee compensation recommendations. Access the change history for fields as part of the Planner Audit on the worksheet and Executive Review.
