Setup Approach

At a high level, here’s a diagram that shows you the main components involved in setting up the cash award program.

Here are the key steps to accomplish the scenario:

1. Use the Elements task in Payroll to create a cash award element. You use payroll elements to send the award money for payroll processing.
2. In the Configure Global Settings page, set up the core values to recognize fundamental principles that the employees exhibit. In this example, you want the award program to recognize people for their integrity, teamwork, and innovation. You can also select or upload the images that you can send to the employees. When you set up core values and images here, they’re available to all programs you create.
3. In the Recognitions and Award Programs page, create an award program. Define the cash award, program owner, core values, and images. Because cash awards are paid through element entries, you need to select a payroll element or add one.
4. In the Employees page, send the award to the employee. Select the core values you want to recognize them for, and an appropriate image to convey the essence of the award. You can write a suitable headline and a congratulatory message to appreciate the good work.
5. In the Generate Award Element Entries page, you can transfer the cash award into payroll elements through a scheduled process.
6. You can monitor the status of the scheduled process. The successfully processed element entries are used in payroll calculations and the award money will be paid to the employee based on the payroll configuration.
