When the compensation cycle is published, compensation administrators with full access (users with the Access to All Cycles role feature), compensation administrators with limited access, and managers receive different notifications on the publish date.

Both compensation administrators with full access and limited access receive notifications in their Message Center and email about the worksheet's availability for reviewing and allocating rewards in the Compensation Cycle Administration feature. Only compensation administrators with limited access receive the dates for review and allocation. These notifications vary depending on the publish, review, and allocation start dates. For example, if the publish and review dates are the same, but the allocation start date is later than the review date, administrators receive a message as follows: The worksheet for the compensation cycle “{Cycle Name}” is now available for review in the Compensation Cycle Administration feature. The allocation period begins on {##/##/####}. Allocate rewards in percentage or amount values for employees and submit the completed worksheet for approval.

Managers receive notification in Message Center and email about the worksheet's availability for reviewing and allocating rewards in the Compensation feature. They also receive information about the review, allocation start, and end dates, with notifications varying based on these dates. For example, if the review date is later than the publish date, and the review date is the same as the allocation start date, managers receive a message as follows: The worksheet for the compensation cycle “{Cycle Name}” will be available for review and to allocate rewards in the Compensation feature on {##/##/####}. Allocate rewards in percentage or amount values for your direct reports and submit the completed worksheet for approval on or before the due date {##/##/####}.
