Performance Management R12.1 HRMS RUP5 Best Practices

To publish a plan for contingent workers only, the top-most supervisor must be a worker of type Contingent Worker. Eligibility Profiles take precedence over the plan population definition. When workers are transferred from a source plan to a new destination plan, objectives and competencies that are applicable are copied to the new scorecard. Objective and competency ratings and comments are not copied to the new scorecard. Ratings and comments must be entered by the new manager.

23

Performance Management R12.1 HRMS RUP5 Best Practices

Plan Administrators have the flexibility to extend deadlines for single or multiple workers. Managers who are not eligible for a plan can now set objectives, initiate and update appraisals of their subordinate workers who are eligible for the plan. Plan Administrators can change the top supervisor of a plan without a SQL Script/DML update. Administrator can review the impact of the supervisor change prior to committing the change.

Performance Management R12.1 HRMS RUP5

Trouble Shooting Tips
On transferring a worker or scorecard from a source plan to a new destination plan, the deadline dates of the destination plan apply to the scorecard enrolled into the plan. When a plan is republished by selecting the Refresh Scorecard' option during the appraisal phase, new objectives that the employee is eligible for are populated into the appraisal when the mass appraisal creation program is run. If a worker becomes ineligible for a plan and the plan is republished by selecting the Reevaluate Population option, the ineligible worker is not removed from the plan (HR Professional has to explicitly remove the worker scorecard).

Performance Management R12.1 HRMS RUP5

Troubleshooting Tips
If a worker becomes ineligible for any objective already available in their scorecard, and the plan is republished by selecting the Refresh Scorecard option, then the ineligible objective is not removed from the workers scorecard. Managers can set their own objectives using Employee Self Service responsibility, if they are part of the plan population. Managers can set objectives for their eligible subordinate workers even if they are not part of the plan population, using the Manager Self Service responsibility.

Performance Management 12.1 HRMS RUP5 Known Issues

When a plan is republished selecting multiple options such as reevaluate population, refresh scorecard etc; individual notifications pertaining to each of the selected options are sent.
