Considerations for Securing Access to Workforce Compensation Plans and Task Worksheets

Do you want to secure access to your workforce compensation plans and if so, how? Keep these key considerations in mind when setting up various configurations:

  • Do you want to let managers and HR specialists only view plans and let only compensation administrators make changes? You can do this when you configure plan access as part of the foundation plan setup.
  • Do you want to let managers change plan access for their subordinate managers? You can do this when you configure approvals and notifications as part of the worksheets plan setup.
  • Do you want to let managers change worksheet access for their subordinate managers? You can do this when you configure actions as part of the worksheets display plan setup.

Here are some scenarios and example access configurations.

Scenario Example Configuration Workforce Compensation Plan Task
Limit compensation manager access using the Act as Proxy task according to roles. When you configure plan access, add roles in the Roles with the Plan Access from the Compensation Work Area section. Configure Plan Access
Limit when managers access their plan worksheets.

To start, when you configure plan hierarchies, set a default access level to determine who has immediate access, such as compensation administrators. Or you can use a fast formula.

During the workforce compensation cycle, when managers can access their plan worksheets, compensation administrators can change manager access using the plan approvals task. Or plan administrators can change the worksheet display configuration to enable the approvals task to let managers change the access of their subordinate managers.
