Making bonus objective periods available for payout
Throughout the bonus period, employees and managers can make changes to bonus objectives (for example, track the percent complete). At the end of the period, update bonus objectives with a percent complete and a date of completion if 100%. Update bonus objectives with a rating, if the goal is rated.
Note:
If an attached bonus objective uses a goal type with the External Results option selected, then the external results must be specified. The goal must be completed before you can use the Ready For Payout action for that bonus objective.
Managers can make bonus objectives components available for payout without going through an approval process.
