Benefits:

Configurable Contact and Resources Panel for Enrollment

The benefits administrator can configure the display of the contact and resources panel [LC2] in the benefits enrollment and summary pages to be closed upon entry, open upon entry, or hidden.

Benefits WorkCenter Approval Link

Benefits administrators and specialists can now easily access their pending approvals through the Benefits WorkCenter. The approval links are available for life events and dependent updates.

Time and Labor

Direct Reports Fluid Time Pages

Image 47 delivers a new Team Time Direct Reports tile that allows managers access to all their direct and indirect reports without maintaining separate security.

With the new tile, managers don’t need to select the time reporter each time when switching between different Time and Labor and Absence Management pages because they are now using the same security.

Lockdown Framework

In Image 47 Time and Labor customers can use the new Lockdown Framework to disable data entry into Time and Labor pages, like using the previously delivered Timesheet Lockdown.  Some of the differences between the two frameworks is that with the Lockdown Framework administrators can set up groups of time reporters ahead of time.  For instance, they can set up different paygroups to be used as groups to lock down.  In addition, they can make the lockdown dependent on the completion of specified processes, such as Payroll Confirmation, while still being able to control whether they are locking down current or prior periods.

Performance Management

Fluidize ePerformance Business Objectives

Managers can now define, manage, and view business objectives for their organizations in Fluid providing a modern, enhanced user experience that’s consistent with the Modernization of Performance Management.

Some of the new enhancements for Business Objectives are –

• Shows you documents where you’re the owner or editor. These documents are grouped according to that status.
• You can filter the document list by date or title,
• Create new documents, if enabled in the setup,
• Or perform actions on the document from the More Actions menu.

Managers have the ability to look at the published documents from their manager and peers while working on their own own objectives.

Updates to Error Paradigm & Enable Attachments for Every Step

Fluid Performance Management delivered two enhancements to support employee performance review’s ability to review error messages and upload attachments.

The Document Error section displays errors that the validation check identifies when you complete a step.   Users can select an error message from the list and address the issue on the page that appears.

Another enhancement is the ability for you to upload file attachments in the Define Criteria and Track Progress steps of the review process, in addition to the Evaluation step.
