To add ad hoc awards for workers, use the Adhoc Comp for Employees (TC_ADHOC_EMPLOYEE) component. To add ad hoc awards for organizations, use the Adhoc Comp for Organization (TC_ADHOC_ORG) component.

Typically, ad hoc awards represent organizational costs that are not tracked within the HCM system. Ad hoc worker awards may, for example, include special cash performance awards, team awards, and paid parking for executives. Ad hoc organization awards may, for example, include company provided food items, such as coffee and pastries, and holiday gifts, such as turkeys.

You do not need to extract ad hoc data; it is always available for reports and inquiries.

To add an ad hoc award:

  1. Set up a compensation source on the Compensation Source page.

    Set the Source Type field to Ad Hoc Emp or Ad Hoc Org. Leave the extract program blank. Set the Map Based On field to No Mapping.

  2. Set up a compensation ID for the award.

    Use the Compensation Definition page.

  3. Insert the new compensation ID into the Total Compensation Tree.

    Use PeopleSoft Tree Manager.

  4. Add the ad hoc information on either the Adhoc Comp for Employees page or the Adhoc Comp for Organization process page.

    After you save the page, the information is added to the data warehouse.

  5. Continue viewing compensation data, processing OLAP cubes, or running reports.
