This option requires both rating scales to have score ranges defined.

o Select Lower Supervisor Level if supervisor levels get lower as you climb the supervisor structure. The system attempts to find a parent supervisor with a level equal to or lower than the level specified in the Budget Owner Supervisor Level field.

Feature Mass attach goals to compensation bonus objective periods (customer update 15)
Description Completed goals can be mass attached to compensation bonus objective periods so they can be paid out. The pay component has a new option for bonus objective initiation = Administrator, which enables this process.
After goals are completed in Goal Management, the compensation analyst or administrator can run a new action "Mass Attach Bonus Objectives” to attach all completed goals to a compensation bonus objective period. This action will replace the employee and manager actions to attach goals to bonus objective periods, will bypass the IBOApprove process, and can optionally bypass the IBOComplete process in Compensation.
Impact to employee role:
If a pay component’s bonus objective initiation = Administrator, an employee will not be able to view a bonus objective period under “To Do” as there is nothing for an employee ‘to do’ for a bonus objective period.
Because an employee has no role in the bonus objective process when the bonus objective initiation = Administrator, no actions will be allowed for a Bonus Objective Period. Historical (i.e., payouts have been created) Bonus Objective Periods will now display on a resource’s profile for all bonus objective periods (regardless of the bonus objective initiation field value) along with the final payout amount that was calculated by Compensation.
Impact to manager role:
If a pay component’s bonus objective initiation = Administrator, a manager will not be able to view a bonus objective period for their direct reports until it becomes historical (i.e., payouts have been created for goals). No actions will be allowed. However, if there is an IBOComplete process that was initiated by the administrator, the period may be routed to a manager’s inbasket for approval. Because a manager has no role in the bonus objective process when the bonus objective initiation = Administrator, no actions will be allowed for a Bonus Objective Period, other than work unit actions for the IBOComplete process (i.e., ReadyForPayout, NotPayoutReady) which are only available from the inbasket. Historical (i.e., payouts have been created) Bonus Objective Periods will now display on a resource’s profile for all bonus objective periods (regardless of the bonus objective initiation field value) along with the final payout amount that was calculated by Compensation.

Benefits Management
Feature Benefits Management application (base release)
Description Benefits Management is a solution to allow the administration and use of benefits programs. The application offers flexible tracking of employee, retiree, and COBRA participant benefits.
Benefits Manager (new role) and Employee are used to enroll in benefit plans or maintain benefit plan information.
Employees may need to initiate or update benefits enrollments for a wide variety of reasons. To accommodate these needs, employees can perform three types of enrollments in Employee Self Service:
Annual Enrollment: Also referred to as open enrollment in many organizations, Annual Enrollment is a yearly time period when employees can change or add benefits to their accounts. An organization specifies the time period enrollment dates and the new benefits effective dates.
Life Event Enrollment: Life Event Enrollment allows employees to adjust their benefits according to events such as the birth of a child, adoption, marriage, or divorce. When an employee enters a life event, the system points employees to the information they must enter or update.
New Hire Enrollment: New Hire Enrollment is a time period in which new employees must enter their benefits information into the system. Organizations can set up this time period to reflect the number of days new employees have to enter benefits information before they must provide evidence of insurability.
When an employee can use each type of enrollment depends on an organization's enrollment rules. Enrollment rules determine when employees can add or maintain their benefits information. Enrollment rules also determine when the employees' enrollment changes are transferred to the HR suite.

Feature Configurable work flow approval of time off requests (customer update 6)
Description The Time Off Request approval process has been enhanced to use Infor Process Automation. The new Process Flow Service is TimeOffApproval.
A new action to submit time off requests for approval has been added. A work unit is created for the TimeOffApproval service when Time Off Requests are submitted.

The second level approver is the parent supervisor of the employee’s direct supervisor. This default routing can be configured by clients. Different routing can be defined per plan within the organization.
Approvers can choose to approve or reject all time off requests within a work unit, or they can reject some requests and approve others.
Submitting Time Off Requests will also create Time Off Approval Group records, which are new. These records relate one to one with a work unit. The Time Off Approval Groups are used by Administrators to manually approve or reject time off requests.

The range of dates for the requests within the work unit have been added to the work unit title. This provides clarity to a manager/approver when viewing the work units in their Inbasket.
Details for the individual time off requests within a work unit have been added to the contents of the emails in the delivered TimeOffApproval flow.
The delivered TimeOffApproval flow emails have also been enhanced with the ability to approve or reject the work unit via email. See the Infor Process Automation Administration Guide for more information about this capability and requiring authentication for email actions. Note: If some requests within the work unit need to be rejected and some approved, this will need to be done from the Inbasket. Partial approval cannot be done via email.
Note: Existing work units and time off approval groups will not be updated to include the new date range, but these can still be approved or rejected as usual.

Optional post upgrade action: Update Pay Frequency field
The Update Pay Frequency action must be run for each organization that uses payment schedules and pay frequencies. This upgrade action should be run immediately after the upgrade is complete and before any further changes are made by users in Talent Management. Pay Frequency, First Pay Period Start Date, First Work Period Start Date, and Work Period Number Of Days have been added as new fields to the PaymentSchedule business class for use by Benefits Management, Time Entry, and Absence Management. Currently, the WorkAssignment, Position, and JobRequisition business classes already have a Pay Frequency field, along with a PaymentSchedule field. The Update Pay Frequency action can be used to update the new fields on existing Payment Schedules that are in use on WorkAssignment, Position, and JobRequisition records. This action can also identify and update the existing Pay Frequency field on WorkAssignment, Position and Job Requisition records where the Pay Frequency does not match the Pay Frequency being added to the Payment Schedule. New application rules require that the Pay Frequency on a Payment Schedule match the individual Pay Frequency field on a Work Assignment, Position or Job Requisition. You can select “List Records to Update” to view the non-matching records without updating data, or you can select “Update Records” to actually update the data. The Update Pay Frequency action is accessed via Administrator > Utilities >Data Maintenance.
