Merit Process

On the Manage Delegations screen you can enter more than one delegate in the box provided. Anyone you enter in this box will be able to view and edit just like you. An alternate delegate only has access if the delegates is excluded from the task. For example, if I am made delegate for leave approvals for my department and I submit leave, the approval for my submission will go to the alternate.

It is possible for individuals not to get merit but the supervisor/department should be prepared to answer any questions the employee may have as to why they did not receive merit.

No, you received several tasks for either because you have both faculty and staff employees and/or multiple supervisory organizations. As long as you stay within your overall pools you should have no issues. 

Yes.

Contact Human.Resources@tamucc.edu and let them know what you are trying to do and the error you received. They can take the employee out of the merit process or suggest an alternative business process.

Contact your supervisor.  If they have not submitted their organization’s merit recommendations, then they can make the edit for you or they can use the Actions – Send Back option to return the merit process to you.  If they’ve already submitted then you will need to go up to the next level supervisor.

They won’t be able to see any merit actions on employees until the merit process in complete, mid/late August.  The budget office does have a report that they will be sending out to business staff beginning in early-August.  However, you are able to download the submission into excel by choosing Archive from your inbox, select the submitted process, and choose More Details.  This should bring up a template similar to what you filled out for your merit recommendations.  In the top right choose the excel button and a file will be created, the information your business staff needs is on the second tab.

If you supervise several organizations your supervisor(s) have started to enter merit. You can see who has been assigned merit by selecting the magnifying glass under view and then sort the Merit Increase % column.  If the organization you have selected has more than 100 employees you will need to go one step further down within the organization.

Once merit is launched organization structures cannot be changed, however send a request to HR so they can make the change in the future.

While the WD Merit Business Process pushes a task down to the individual supervisor for input on merit, each VP decides where their pools will reside. Which typically will be at a higher level within the division.
