eCompensation Manager Desktop Integrations
eCompensation Manager Desktop integrates with PeopleSoft HCM applications, with other PeopleSoft applications, and with third-party applications. Human Resources shared tables are available to many HCM applications. In addition, data in many HR tables are available to any PeopleSoft application that is set up to subscribe to the published messages. The eCompensation Manager Desktop business processes integrate with these PeopleSoft applications:
PeopleSoft HCM.
PeopleSoft Stock Administration.
PeopleSoft ePerformance.
PeopleSoft Global Payroll.
PeopleSoft Payroll for North America.
PeopleSoft Payroll Interface.
In PeopleSoft HCM, eCompensation integrates with ePerformance to drive funding based on performance achievements. This integration also enforces proposal guidelines.
Stock awards are given through the Variable Compensation business process. Because of this integration, stock awards are included with all other variable monetary and non-monetary awards for total variable compensation reporting and history. Stock Administration grants and administers stock awards after they are approved and received from HCM as service operations. Both Stock Administration and Variable Compensation use the group build feature so that when groups are used, they are consistent between the two systems.
