Also disclosed is an improved method and system for generating performance scores for employees. | 05-13-2010 |
20100121686 | Method and System for Implementing a Scoring Mechanism - Described is an improved method, system, and computer program product for implementing an improved method and system for generating performance scores for employees. Also disclosed is an approach for ranking employees which avoids the complexity and excessive resources often needed to implement employee rankings. | 05-13-2010 |
20100122218 | Method and System for Implementing a Compensation System - Described is an improved method, system, and computer program product for implementing an improved approach for a compensation system and related interfaces that avoids the problems of the prior approaches. According to some approaches, interfaces are provided that comprises multiple modes of compensation entry, in which data elements within the multiple modes are linked together in a coordinated way. | 05-13-2010 |
20100125784 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IMPLEMENTING FLAGGING FOR DIFFERENTIATING VISUAL INFORMATION IN A USER INTERFACE - This disclosure describes, generally, methods and systems for differentiating visual information in a user interface (UI). The method may include defining criteria for multiple flag colors. The criteria may be based at least in part on a database query. The method may further include executing the database query on a plurality of data entries stored within a database in order to assign at least one of the multiple flags to each of the data entries. The color of the flag is based at least in part on data within each of the data entries meeting the criteria which defines the color of the flag. The method may further include displaying, within a UI on a display device, the data entries with the associated colored flags. | 05-20-2010 |
20100223572 | Creating Manager Views In An Employee Compensation System - Systems, methods, and software applications for setting up manager views of a compensation management page are described in the present disclosure. According to one embodiment, among many, a computer readable medium is configured to store instructions that are executable by a processing device. The computer readable medium in this embodiment includes logic adapted to enable a user to group a plurality of manager views, wherein the layouts of the pages are to be set up by the user. The computer readable medium further includes logic adapted to enable a user to define the layout of each of the plurality of manager views and logic adapted to enable a user to define one or more columns of each manager view. The user can set up and define the manager views without affecting actual compensation data. | 09-02-2010 |
20100274620 | Monitoring The Progress Of A Task Set Within A Hierarchy - Systems, methods, and software applications for monitoring a flow of related tasks by supervisors of an organization are described in the present disclosure. According to one embodiment, among many, a computer readable medium is configured to store instructions that are executable by a processing device. The computer readable medium comprises logic adapted to store information that defines a hierarchy within an enterprise, the hierarchy including a tree structure where each of a plurality of supervisors is placed in a supervisory position over one or more subordinates and each supervisor is subordinate to at most one other supervisor. The computer readable medium also includes logic adapted to assign a task for each of the plurality of supervisors to perform, wherein performing the task by a first supervisor depends in part on completion of the task by each of the one or more respective subordinates. The computer readable medium also includes logic adapted to determine if one or more subordinates are causing a delay in the progress towards completion of the task within the hierarchy. Also, the computer readable medium includes logic adapted to generate a report identifying the subordinates, if any, who are causing a delay in the task completion progress. | 10-28-2010 |
20110087681 | MERGING OF ITEMS FROM DIFFERENT DATA SOURCES - A digital processing system provided according to an aspect of the present invention processes items received from different data sources, specifically when a second set of items received from a second data source is related to corresponding ones of a first set of items received from a first data source. In one embodiment, each of the items in the first set and the second set is first assigned a corresponding digital value and then sorted according to a sort order of the assigned digital values to form a sorted output. The digital values are assigned such that items in the second set are grouped with related corresponding ones of the first set of items. Thus, items from different sources are merged (and sorted) based on the relation between the items. | 04-14-2011 |
20120084708 | PRESENTATION OF HIERARCHICAL DATA IN MULTIPLE CONSISTENT VIEWS - Hierarchical data can be consistently presented in multiple different views. One method involves extracting object information describing at least one object from a database. The object information includes hierarchical information indicating a position of the object within a hierarchy of objects and list information usable to sort of list of objects that includes the object. The method also generates a tree view and a list view for display within a hierarchical data presentation window. The tree view identifies the object, and generation of the tree view is based upon the hierarchical information. The list view identifies the at least one object, and generation of the list view is based upon the list information. The method provides the tree and list views to a display device for display within the hierarchical data presentation window. | 04-05-2012 |
20120278212 | ENTERPRISE COMPENSATION APPLICATION SUPPORTING A LARGE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES - An enterprise compensation application enables different users to create corresponding sets of custom filters of interest, and then stores in a non-volatile storage, data indicating the corresponding custom filters created by each user. In response to receiving a request from a user for information related to a set of employees, the application identifies the set of custom filter created by the user (by examining the stored data), presents information related to the requested set of employees and also makes available the identified set of custom filters. On receiving an input indicating that the user has selected a custom filter from the set, the application determines a subset of employee as limited by the selected custom filter and then presents the information related to the subset to the user. Thus, the enterprise compensation application simplifies/supports compensation management for a large number of employees. | 11-01-2012 |
