Special Payment for Mass Start (Multi-Step Process)

This process supports a special payment to multiple employees. The process consists of the following steps:

The manager enters the data for the employees in the table - payment amount and payment type. After the Review and Save step, the data is automatically broken into separate process instances for each employee.
The superior manager receives each of the process instances separately, and approves the payment requests.
The HR Administrator saves the data to the backend. It is also possible for the HR Administrator to make changes in this step.

Special Payment For Mass Start

After choosing Start Process for Multiple Employees in the Portal, the manager starts the Special Payment process.
The manager searches for and selects employees to which the special payment is being given in the team view.
The selected employee data is displayed in table format on the Enter Data screen.
The manager selects the employees and chooses Set Values for Selected Employees.
The manager enters payment amount and payment type in the dialog box that appears.
He or she can choose Check Selected Employees to check for any errors in the data.
If there are no errors, choose Next.
The manager reviews the data entered and chooses Save. Separate process instances (and therefore work items) are automatically created for each employee.
Each work item is sent to the next agent involved in the process — the superior manager — (there can be different agents for different work items). The superior manager reviews the payment data entered and approves the payment. The form is sent to the next agent in the process, the HR Administrator.

Alternatively, the superior manager can send the form back to the requesting manager if there is an issue, for example, with the payment amount.
The HR Administrator reviews the payment details and saves the data to the backend. It is also possible for the HR Administrator to make changes in this step.
End of process.

Result

The payments have been approved for the selected employees.
