Explaining the Route Maps Process

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to explain the Route Maps process.

Introduction

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.

Route Maps

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.

This screenshot shows the route map that the compensation worksheet will follow through the approval process.

Route All Forms

When there are a large number of compensation forms in the Inbox, administrators can route them a step forward or backward using the new Route All Forms button. The forms must belong to the same compensation, variable pay, or total compensation template.

Route All Forms hyperlink displays options to Send to Next Step, or Send to Previous Step.

Summary
