Resolution

Step 1 - Creating/Launching Worksheets

Before launching worksheets, make your you have correctly linked employees to their business/bonus plans as well as running bonus calculation.

Fill out these sections as required.

Worksheet Name

  • Define what title you would like the worksheet(s) to have. This will show within employee inboxes through Compensation.
  • Note: Please avoid using characters such as /, \ as this may cause issues accessing the worksheets. If this is required, we recommend using - instead.

Set Plan Dates

  • Here define the start/end date of the worksheet(s) as well as a due date.
  • For example, the start date could be 01/01/20** and end date 12/31/20** which is normally the planning period of your template.
  • Enter a due date of your choosing which is typically when the planning process should be completed by.
  • These three fields are mandatory and need to be populated and will also show within the planner inboxes.

Select worksheets to create

  • If you want to launch multiple worksheets at one time do not select the "Create for head of Planning only" option and select the head of your hierarchy.
  • Typically, this would be the CEO and when launching forms worksheets will go to your defined planners. This can be checked in define planners.
  • If you would like to create one worksheet rather than multiple for the whole hierarchy, then select the name of the planner you want to create a worksheet for and select "Create for head of Planning only".
  • NOTE: Creating one worksheet for a specific planner is good for testing as you are not creating multiple worksheets.
  • Selecting the "Send email notification to planner(s)" will trigger an email to be sent onto the respective planners.
  • This is only applicable if "Document Creation Notification" is enabled.

Step 2 - Reviewing worksheets

The worksheets can be viewed from the Compensation Inbox.
