Viewing Personal Entitlements and Requesting Fund Release

This section lists prerequisites and discusses how to view profit-sharing amount, submit a fund release request and view interest information.

For worker's participation agreements, employees don't need to request fund release because funds are automatically paid as soon as they are available.

For profit-sharing agreements, employees can normally only release funds after the end of the unavailability period. However, in certain situations, employees can request early release of funds by specifying the reason for the early release. If you have enabled workflow, when employees submit fund release requests workflow triggers an email to the compensation administrator to inform the administrator that a new request is waiting for approval.
