The Compensation workset based on ECM displays for the manager the employees in his or her area of responsibility, together with the employee data relevant for planning and compensation. The manager can sort this data according to the necessary criteria. The workset facilitates planning by offering graphical comparison and summary views.

The Plan Compensation (ECM) iView enables the manager to plan employees’ monetary compensation (such as salary, regular bonus, and off-cycle bonus) and allocate stock options. The Compensation Approval (ECM) iView allows the approving manager to check compensation planned for employees and the allocation of stock options and bonuses, and subsequently approve or reject them.

The Compensation Adjustments (ECM) and Long-Term Incentives (ECM) iViews provide an overview of the salary increases, stock options or bonuses an employee has received in the past.

The Salary Data (ECM) and Salary Survey Results (ECM) iViews provide managers with an overview of the extent to which an employee’s salary corresponds to the internal salary guidelines and external market salaries.

The Compensation Guidelines (ECM) and Compensation Eligibility (ECM) iViews facilitate a manager’s compensation-related decisions by displaying relevant data from Enterprise Compensation Management (ECM) . The Compensation Guidelines (ECM) iView displays — for an employee — the compensation plan guidelines that apply internally at the enterprise within a compensation review. This includes default values for the compensation to be planned, including the allowed minimum and maximum limits and the underlying guideline criteria (for example, appraisal results). The Compensation Eligibility (ECM) iView displays an employee’s eligibility for the various compensation plans within a compensation review and the eligibility criteria the employee fulfills or does not fulfill.
