6 Setting Up Manager Self Service

This chapter contains the following topics:

6.1 Understanding Manager Self-Service Setup

You can set up self-service programs that assist supervisors in managing the hiring and reviews of employees. Managers can access each of the programs in the Managers Workbench program (P08712).

6.2 Setting Up Upcoming Reviews by Supervisor

This section provides an overview of setting up the Upcoming Reviews by Supervisor program and discusses how to set the processing options.

6.2.1 Understanding Upcoming Reviews by Supervisor Setup

Employees in a managerial or supervisory position can use the Upcoming Reviews by Supervisor program (P052200). Supervisors can log onto the self-service site to see all employees whom they are responsible to review soon.

The Upcoming Reviews By Supervisor program can be run to report employees with upcoming reviews by supervisor and to add Enterprise Workflow Management functionality to the process. If the processing options for this report are set up correctly, the system automatically reports employees with upcoming reviews, reminds each supervisor of upcoming reviews by sending an email, and automatically updates the Upcoming Reviews By Supervisor program.

When a supervisor logs into the program, the system recognizes the employee number and displays the records for employees who have upcoming reviews. You can set processing options so that supervisors can select options from the row menu to view employee information on these forms: Work With Organizational Assignments, Personal, and Work With Basic Compensation (Employee Master program P0801), and Supplemental Data Inquiry (Supplemental DB Inquiry program (P050200). You can select whether you want to set up security to permit access to these forms by certain individuals only.

This program updates supervisors and eliminates the time that they would spend researching upcoming reviews for their employees.

You can also set a processing option to have the report run automatically on a certain date.

Processing options are also available to run versions that report past due reviews and reviews for all employees without specified dates. Neither of these versions include Workflow.

Upcoming Reviews By Supervisor (P052200) is an inquiry-only program. The information presented by the program is from the F060116 table.

6.2.3 Setting Processing Options for Upcoming Reviews by Supervisor (P052200)

6.3 Setting Up the Employee Setup Process

This section provides an overview of setting up the Employee Setup Process and discusses how to set the processing options.

6.3.1 Understanding the Employee Setup Process

After hiring an employee, a manager can use self service to add an employee record and initiate an employee setup process. Workflow then sends task approval messages and reminders about equipment setup to certain people.

You can define default setup tasks that can be automatically implemented each time a new employee is hired. Default tasks can be tasks that every new employee needs. For example, if your company provides a phone and a computer for most employees, you might want to set up default tasks for installing a phone, computer, and a network connection. Managers can add to or change these tasks unless you enter a lock code for tasks when you set them up. When you set up a default task, always associate it with a job type and step. Information entered as a default task updates the F087101 table.

You also set up a task list by location. You enter every possible setup task for every location. For every task in the task list, you can specify an approver, a task recipient, and other task details. Managers can select tasks from the task list and assign them to a new employee's setup record.

You can set up each task to do one or more of these activities: run a report, send an email message, create a work order, or start a Workflow process. You must first customize a report, set up a work order, or set up an additional Workflow process if you are planning to attach these activities to a task.

You can also require an approval for each task that you set up. If you require an approval, Workflow sends an email approval form to the address book number of the person that you designated in the Approver field. You must also set your processing options to determine whether Workflow should obtain a process approval for the entire employee setup process for every new employee record.

The system determines the date to begin the approval process from the values that you enter in these three fields on the Work With Setup Tasks Details form:

  • Based On Date

  • Duration

  • Offset Days

To determine the date to begin each task, the system performs this sequence of actions:

  1. Retrieves the date from the Based On Date field (for instance, the arrival date of the employee)

  2. Adds the number of days from the Duration field (the number of days needed to complete the task)

  3. Adds the number of days from the Offset Days field (the number of days, when added to the Duration values, that determine the day by which the task must be completed)

The information that you enter in the header area of the setup forms updates the F087102 table. The information that you enter in the detail area of the setup forms updates the F087103 table.

To process employee setup tasks, two workflow processes must be functioning. You can use the Object Management Workbench (OMW) to ensure that these workflow processes are activated.

Workflow Process Explanation
EESETUP01-Employee Setup Approval The workflow process that sends an approval form for the entire employee setup process to the address book number of the approver. After workflow obtains an approval, it sends approval forms for each setup task that requires an approval. If you want your system to obtain an approval for this process, you must set a processing option.
EESUTSK01-Employee Task Setup This workflow process is started for each setup task assigned to the employee. This process will first check to see if there is sufficient location information to process the setup task. If not it will notify the originator and wait for the information to be entered. If the activation date has not yet arrived the process will sit in waiting state until that time. When the previous two conditions are met the process activates the task. by setting the status of the F08711 record to A and then depending on how the task is setup will: send an email message to the task recipient, run a report, create a work order, or start a new workflow process.

      Enter the process name of the workflow process you want to assign to this task. This process will get started when the task is processed.

  12. To send an email message to the task recipient, complete the Send Email field. The text of the email message comes from media object attached to this task. The hiring manager is given the opportunity to update the contents of this media object on the Employee Setup Task Entry form. This is a way to send task specific information to the person assigned to work on the task.

    If your organizational procedures are set up for work orders, you might want to create a work order for this task.

  13. If you create a work order, complete the Order Number field.

  14. Complete these fields so that the system can determine the start date of the task:

    • Offset Days

      Enter the number of days, plus or minus, to adjust the actual start date (or the date work will begin on the task). The start date is calculated by taking the Base on Date and subtracting the number of days in the Duration field and then adding the days in the Offset Days field. For example, if you want the phone installation to be completed one day prior to the employee arriving at his or her desk and it takes 3 days to install a phone, then you would enter the these values:

      Arrival Date: Based on Date

      3: Duration

      –1: Offset

      These settings cause the phone installation process to start four days prior to the arrival date.

    • Duration

      Enter a value that specifies how long the setup task will take. The system also uses this value to calculate the task start date.

    • Based on Date

      Enter a user defined code (08/BO) that will specify which date you use to calculate the completion date of the setup task. Predefined values are Arrival Date, Creation Date or Start Date. Arrival Date is entered by the hiring manager when creating the setup process. Creation Date is the date the setup process was created and the Start Date is the DateEmployementStart (DST) in the Employee Master record (F060116)

  15. Repeat these steps to enter different locations for the task.

  16. When you are finished, click OK.

6.4 Setting Up Employee Status Change

This section provides an overview of setting up the Employee Status Change program and discusses how to:

  • Set up the processing options for Employee Status Change Setup program.

  • Set up employee status change.

6.4.1 Understanding Employee Status Change Setup

Employee Status Change Setup (P08730) is one of the suite of programs that a manager can use from Manager's Workbench (P08712). Managers can use Employee Status Change Setup to perform any of these changes:

  • Promotion

  • Job status

  • Location

  • Leave of absence

  • Department or supervisor

Managers can save time and effort by using the five default tasks to perform the most frequent types of employee changes. For example, when an employee changes jobs, the supervisor can initiate the change using the Manager's Workbench. Workflow can route the status change to human resources for the appropriate approvals. Once the change request has been approved, the change will automatically be updated in the system.

Your software has been supplied with a default version that contains options, approval requirements, and data items that are common to a large cross-section of organizations. As a result, little or no change might be required for this application to meet your needs. If you want to add data items to any of the existing change forms, you will find that the majority of the fields from the F060116 table are currently available.

If you want to change the default workflow process, the best approach is to make a copy of the existing version, rename the new version appropriately, and make changes only to the new version. Because any new version must maintain the same data structure (input parameters), this approach will result in less effort and fewer errors. You use the Employee Status Change Setup program to customize the setup of the Employee Status Change program (P08720).

The Select Employee Status Change Request form contains an option to select a user defined status change. To add user defined change types, you must first create a corresponding UDC record in the 08/S4 UDC table.

Normally, you will use the existing processing option settings for Employee Status Change Setup. These settings are:

  • Business Function Name

  • Hide Status Change Initialization Function Name

The Business Function Name refers to the function that will be used to initiate the workflow process. If you have a business need to change this function make sure that the new function has the same data structure as the default function. If you don't intended to change this function, then put a 1 in the Hide Status Change Initialization Function Name processing option and this field will be hidden on the setup form.

6.4.2 Prerequisite

Verify that workflow process EESTSCHG-Employee Status Change is activated in the Object Management Workbench (OMW).

6.4.3 Form Used to Set Up the Employee Status Change Program

Form Name FormID Navigation Usage

Enter a Change Type and review currently selected data items.

6.4.4 Setting Processing Options for Employee Status Change Setup (P08730)

Processing options enable you to specify the default processing for programs and reports.

6.4.4.1 Defaults

Use this processing option to specify the defaults that the system will apply when you initiate the status change process.

1. Business Function Name

Specify the business function you want to use to initiate the status change workflow process. This business function must also handle the other workflow processes such as aborting, escalating, restarting, and approving.

The default function is Initiate Status Change. The source module is N0800206.

2. Hide Status Change Initialization Business Function

Specify whether you want to allow the user to see the Status Change business function driver used to initiate the Status Change process. It is recommended that you set this value to 1. Values are:

0: No

1: Yes

6.4.5 Setting Up the Employee Status Change Program

Access the Employee Status Change Setup form.

To set up employee status change:

From the Self Service Setup menu (G05BESS4), select Status Change Setup.

  1. On Employee Status Change Setup, complete the Change Type field and click Find.

    A check mark in the row header indicates that the data item is selected and appears as an available choice in the Employee Status Change program (P08720). If a lightening bolt symbol appears in the row header, the field is a required field and is marked with an asterisk in Employee Status Change.

  2. To change the status of a selected field to a required field, double-click the row-header (the field with the check mark) so that the lightening bolt symbol appears. Alternatively, you can highlight the row and press the Select button.

  3. To completely deselect a field, double-click the row-header again so that no symbol appears.

  4. To add a new field, click the All display option:

    • All

      Display all possible data items from which to select. The All option displays all of the enabled data items from the F060116 table from which you can select.

  5. Double-click the row-header of the data item(s) that you want to add and click OK.

    • Change Type

      Enter a code that specifies the type of status change. The status change type is validated against UDC 08/S4.

      An example of a status change type is PROMO for Promotion. To define a new type of status change, you must first add the change type to the UDC table.

    • Approval Type

      Enter a value form the UDC table 05/AP. The approval type selected will determine who will receive an approval message. The approval types are setup using the Approval Hierarchy application (P05844).

6.5 Setting Up Manager Reports

This section provides an overview of setting up manager reports and discusses how to set up the Manager's Report Setup form.

6.5.1 Understanding Manager Reports setup

Managers and their delegates can use the Managers Reports program (P08740), to automate required reporting procedures and save time. System administrators use the Managers Reports Setup program (P08741) to set up the reports that are run in the Managers Reports program.

The Managers Reports Setup program includes a list of categories that are defined in UDC 08/RP. You can modify this list to meet organizational needs and then attach reports to each category as desired. To automatically run a category of reports from the Managers Reports program, managers can create a user defined list that contains all or some of the reports in a particular category. The list can even contains reports from multiple categories. Once the list is created, the manager can submit the entire list. Managers retain the option of changing the sequence in which the system runs a list of reports and can also run individual reports instead of an entire list.

You can also set up report versions in the Managers Reports Setup program. Creating report versions allows you to set up lists of reports to meet a wide range of needs. You could create a different version for each category.

The Manage Reports process has been designed to take advantage or reports that can be run for a particular employee and have the employee's Address Number in the report data structure. When adding reports that fit this criteria to a report category, press the Map Report Data Structure row exit. This enables you to map a data item from the Employee Master to the data items in the report data structure. To run a report for a specific employee you would want to map AN8 from F060116 to the Address Number field in the report data structure.

6.5.2 Prerequisites

Before you complete the tasks in this section:

  • To set up new category codes to which you can assign a new selection of reports.

  • To create a new category for human resources reports, use 08 in the Product Code field and RP in the User Defined Codes field.

6.7 Setting Up Delegates for Managers Workbench

This section provides an overview of setting up manager delegates for Managers Workbench and discusses how to perform the setup function.

6.7.1 Understanding Delegates Setup for Managers Workbench

Managers can set up subordinates to perform functions on their behalf in the Managers Workbench program (P08712). You can use the Manager Delegates program (P08750) to set up delegates to perform review and approval functions for:

  • Accessing the Managers Workbench program.

  • Viewing records of a manager's subordinates.

  • Processing employee status changes.

  • Processing performance appraisals.

  • Running managers reports.

When you set up manager delegates, you can assign an authorization level to each delegate. The authorization level specifies how many organizational levels below the manager that the delegate can view. For example, if the level is set to 1, then the delegate can view only records for employees who report directly to the manager. At level 2, the delegate can view records for employees who report to the manager and for employees who report to the manager's direct reports.

You can also assign effective dates to delegate records. For example, if a manager is on vacation for two weeks, you might set up a delegate that has review and approval authority during the time that the manager is unavailable. After the ending date that is assigned to the delegate record is reached, the delegate no longer has authorization to review and approve employee timecards.

6.8 Setting Up Manager Delegates for Time Entry

This section provides an overview of setting up manager delegates for time entry and discusses how to perform the setup function.

6.8.1 Understanding Manager Delegates Setup for Time Entry

After employees enter timecards in the system, managers can review and approve, change, or reject those timecards. Occasionally, managers are not available to review and approve timecards. In these circumstances, you can use the Manager Delegates Setup program (P051126) to set up delegates to perform certain review and approval functions on behalf of the manager.

When you set up manager delegates, you can assign an authorization level to each delegate. The authorization level specifies how much authority the delegate has during the timecard review and approval process. Delegates with an authorization level of 2 are only able to approve or reject timecards, and delegates with an authorization level of 1 are able to approve, change, delete, and reject timecards on behalf of the manager.

You can also assign effective dates to delegate records. For example, if a manager is on vacation for two weeks, you might set up a delegate that has review and approval authority during the time that the manager is unavailable. After the ending date that is assigned to the delegate record is reached, the delegate no longer has authorization to review and approve employee timecards (Release 9.1 Update).
