Managing Remote Worker Requests as an Employee using Fluid
With an increased number of employees working outside the traditional office setting, you can record and track this time using PeopleSoft HCM. As an employee, you can submit remote worker requests using the Remote Worker tile and pages. When approvals are enabled, you can then submit your request for approvals.

(Employee view) This example illustrates the layout for the Remote Worker Request pages for an employee.
The activity guide shows a list of remote worker request pages (steps) in the left panel and the page that corresponds to the current selected page, or step, in the right panel. The activity guide also provides navigation buttons for navigating through and saving the page steps.
Note: Throughout this topic, the page illustrations show sections of the remote worker process without the context of the left panel activity guide step list. Even though the framework is not illustrated, remember that all steps appear within that framework.
Remote Worker Request Page Header (Sub-Banner)
A gray area under the main page banner displays the component title Remote Worker Request and contextual information that is specific to the remote worker request, including the person's name and job title, as well as actions buttons.

Submit buttonLeft Panel Navigation
The page framework includes a left panel that lists the page tabs in the remote worker request process. Each step displays a status, which is either Not Started or Visited. Required steps will show as In Progress until you complete the step or move away from the page. When you complete a required step and move on, the status changes to Complete. Users can navigate to steps by clicking the page tab or using the navigation buttons in the header (sub-banner). In the Remote Worker Request activity guide, selecting or moving to another page triggers a save process for the page you are leaving. The process will remain in draft status until you submit the request.
