Alternate Approver for Workforce Compensation Plan Changes Is the Final Approver

Carlos, the CEO, is the top manager in the primary plan hierarchy. Company policy is that his plan changes go to a designated HR manager for final review and approval. Here's how you build the alternate approver table:

Primary Worksheet Manager	Approval Sequence	Alternate Approver
Carlos	1	Maria

And here's an example of how plan change submissions are approved using the primary plan hierarchy and this alternate approver table.

1. John, a director, submits his plan changes to Vijay, VP West, for approval.
2. Vijay reviews and approves John's changes, then makes his own plan changes and submits them to Sara, a senior VP.
3. Sara reviews and approves Vijay's plan changes, then makes her own plan changes and submits them.
4. Carlos, the CEO, reviews and approves Sara's plan changes, then makes his own plan changes and submits them. At this point, the plan status for Carlos is In Approvals.
5. Maria, an HR manager, reviews Carlos's plan changes. When she approves the changes, Carlos's plan status becomes fully approved.
