Individual View for Total Compensation Plans

Overview of the change

You can now see the bonus calculation in the individual view for variable pay in the total compensation templates as well.

You can access the individual view for Total Compensation templates by going to the Compensation Information block of the People Profile for an employee. The programs that the individual is eligible for are displayed including the Total Compensation ones if variable pay is included on the template and it's enabled to show the individual view.

Configuration Requirements

To enable the individual view for a total compensation template, go to Compensation Home(Template)Live Profile Visibility and choose Display Live Profile View after form creation.

Note

If you enable the option before form creation, the People Profile displays data of administrator preview by hiding fields that depend on a manager's discretion.

The leading practice is to hide People Profile statements when managers are in the process of planning.

Role-Based Permission Prerequisites

To have access to individual view through People Profile, employees must have the following permissions:

  • UserEmployee Dataedit/view for the Variable Pay Individual View item.
  • UserEmployee Viewsedit/view permission for the specific section where the Variable Pay Individual View block is configured.

What's Changed

How it Looks Now

This enhancement brings the functionality of viewing the individual bonus calculations that is available for Variable Pay to your Total Compensation plans.

All rules that are registered under CheckExecutorRuleValidationRuleScenario will be checked when you run it.
