As a line manager, you can use ICD to allocate adhoc rewards to employees within

your reporting hierarchy such as lump-sum bonuses, spot bonuses, company stocks,
and special allowances for cars and house rent. You can award such compensation
at any time of the year. You can also update and delete compensation details
entered into the application. As an employee, you can use ICD to self-enroll into
company specific reward programs like tenure gifts and travel allowance. You can
also enroll in company stock purchase plans by specifying a payroll deduction, or
contribute to a company-supported charity plan. As a self-service manager, you can
do the following using ICD: Enter compensation details in multiple input values
associated with an element in a compensation plan.
Flexibly use the entire or a partial list of predefined input values associated with
an element.
Grant multiple compensation (same or different types) awards to an employee
within a single transaction on the same or different dates.
Update and delete active and future compensation awards. For example, update
compensation amount, change the effective dates or entirely delete the award, and
indicate a distribution end date for a recurring compensation within the same
transaction it is awarded.
Review compensation details and submit for approval.

Manager and Employee Self Service Interface The user interfaces for manager and
employee includes the following four pages: Overview page
Details page
Review page

 Confirmation page
Overview Page The Overview page is the first page that the ICD application
displays. As a manager you must select a person in your reporting hierarchy before
starting a compensation action in ICD. You can award new compensation and
update or delete an existing compensation. It is possible to perform multiple
compensation actions such as create, update and delete, within the same
transaction starting on this page. The table on this page displays active and future
element entry records for an employee as well as compensation records from
temporary storage that are not yet submitted for processing or approval or have
been submitted but suspended or awaiting approval. This table will filter
compensation plans based on plan types specified in the menu function. Note:
Element entries in this table for a person may originate from sources other than
ICD.
Details Page When you click the Award Compensation button or the Update icon in
the Overview page, the application displays the Details page. You can select the
compensation plan type and enter related details on this page. You can additionally
specify a start and end date for a recurring compensation to indicate the
distribution period. For a one-time or non-recurring compensation, you must enter
only the start date. Note: If you enter the Details page in Update mode, you cannot
change the plan and option.
You can refer to the embedded instructions that are configured at the Plan level that
the application displays on selecting the Plan. If you click the Apply button, the

enter the Review page by clicking Next on the Overview page. On this page, you
can submit data for further processing by clicking the Submit button. If approval is
configured for a transaction, on clicking the Submit button, the application sends
the data for approval. If approval is not configured, the data is directly written into
payroll element entries. Approvers view the review page as part of notifications.
When the transactions are in the approval process, the application displays their
status as Pending Approval in the Overview page. On approval, the applications
displays the corresponding element entry record on the Overview page with the
status as Applied. If transactions need further information, then the approval
process sends notifications to lower levels in the hierarchy, with the status
remaining as Pending Approval. If transactions are rejected, then ICD notifies the
lower levels in the hierarchy and these transactions are not displayed as part of ICD.
Confirmation Page This page displays the confirmation message after you review
and submit transactions. See: Managing Adhoc variable Compensation, Payroll

Administrators and HR Professionals As an HR professional or an administrator, you
can perform the same tasks as line managers but with additional capabilities using
Individual Compensation Distributions (ICD). You can manage and modify all
transactions in the application, manipulate action items, and override the eligibility
of a person. You can take decisions on transactions that are pending approval, or
suspended because of required action items. Additionally, you can override the
eligibility or ineligibility date of a person to accommodate unique business
scenarios. As an administrator, you can do the following using ICD: Configure the
input value validation based on value sets, data types, minimum, maximum and
default, lookups, and fast formula.
Configure element entry flexfields to capture compensation-related information for
an employee. For example, you can capture compensation justification in a flexfield
during the transaction and store it as part of the employee element entries
Use the default input values as a fixed value or use a fast formula.
Search for employees.
View, update, and delete element entries that do not originate from ICD.
