Compensation budgets and salary awarding

Before a budget owner can make compensation awards, the compensation analyst must make available the budget that the manager owns.

Managers can make compensation awards for the employees that report directly to them and for the employees that report to managers below them in the Manager Structure.

The ability of a manager to view budgets and make compensation awards depends on the manager level assigned to the awarding view. Initially, a manager must be at or above the level assigned to the awarding view to make awards for that awarding view. A manager can also become the owner as the result of a budget being released to the current owner. The manager can release his own budget to a higher-level manager. A manager can also release his direct reports' budget's to a higher-level or lower-level manager.
