Process Maintenance Step Upgrade

The ability to suspend steps in Process Maintenance has been moved to the first screen – you don’t have to click through into a secondary screen to suspend/unsuspend any longer!

When you click on a total (indicating the number of managers at each step/stage) now, you can directly impersonate one of the managers listed or go to the reactivate step for that manager.


Get Employee Recommendations Without the Matrix

There are some client configurations that don’t need the complexity of a matrix, so we can now offer a simpler solution that can be configured instead of a matrix.

You can now have a field on the budget screen to set a recommended % increase per person in each managers team.

i.e. in the screenshot below I have set the budget for Ron Howard as 3% and the recommendation for employees in Ron’s team as 1%

In Ron’s Remuneration step, the budget panel shows the 3% (the $ amount), the initial amount spent shows the 1% which has been preloaded against each employee and the amount remaining shows the difference that Ron can still spend on his employees.

This feature is also available for bonus recommendations.

Please contact your project lead if you want more information or a quote to set this up.

Browser message for IE old version

Given that support will cease on IE11 in January 2020, we have added a system message to the top of our system that will appear for any user who is logged into a version of IE older than IE11. This will increase the user awareness that in order to get the best experience with the system, users should be using a more modern browser.

Extract Employee Business Cases

We are very excited to let you know that you can now extract employee level business cases in your Data Export or Build Reports step!

This does not include manager business cases for budget overspend, full team business cases or multi part bonus step (used for multiple STI plans).

The new fields available in Data Export/Build Reports are:

  • Appraisal Business Case Text = Concatenation of rules broken on appraisal screen
  • Appraisal Business Case Reason Text = Manager business case entered
  • Appraisal Review Reason Text = Approval Manager message if they've made a change via approval
  • Bonus Business Case Text = Concatenation of rules broken on bonus screen
  • Bonus Business Case Reason Text = Manager business case entered
  • Bonus Review Reason Text = Approval Manager message if they've made a change via approval
  • Remuneration Business Case Text = concatenation of rules broken on rem screen
  • Remuneration Business Case Reason Text = Manager business case entered
  • Remuneration Review Reason Text = Approval Manager message if they've made a change via approval
