Sending Notifications for Child Allowance Data Updates

German Public Sector provides the ability to send notifications to child allowance administration personnel when changes are made in HR tables to employees' child allowance data, so they can take actions accordingly. Notifications are set up using the Events and Notifications Framework and will be sent to child allowance administration personnel (grouped in role) when any of these events takes place:

  • A new child is added to an employee's personal record as dependent and the employee is currently a child allowance recipient.

  • A child is removed from an employee's personal record as dependent and the employee is currently a child allowance recipient.

  • The personal profile of an employee's child is updated, and the employee is currently a child allowance recipient.

The system uses the GPS_ADMINISTRATOR user list to map users to the Child Allowance Administrator role (GPS Administrator), and the HR_GPS_ALLOWANCES template to establish common formats (text) to set up the notifications. Users can view these notifications from their worklists.
