Compensation Alerts

eCompensation Desktop Manager alerts are limited to compensation events that are specifically related to the Compensation Cycle business process. There are three primary areas where changes are of interest to managers who need to make and submit proposals:

• Changes to the compensation cycle status that determine the state of the entire business process.

• Changes to the manager's group status that describe the point of completion in the compensation cycle.

• Changes to the access roles that identify the role or responsibility of the individual manager within the business process.

Compensation alert messages are generated by compensation administrators, senior managers, line managers, and compensation processes after certain activities are performed. An alert is simply a message logged during the process, which can be viewed on the Alerts pagelet of the Manager Dashboard, if the compensation-type alerts are selected to be displayed for that pagelet.

The system displays an alert entry with basic information such as a task name, a task description, or other instructional text. It can also include an attachment.

The Component's Event Framework provides the content the actual message that is displayed to the user. In this common publish-subscribe scenario, the event is the published message, which indicates that something of interest occurred. This is important as an event may have many subscribers and many recipients. The subscription process is contained within the management (creation, update and deletion) of the compensation alert messages.
