    You have several options for the Load Sub Item , which is based on the type of Workforce data you want to load for either Workforce Planning. A description of each Load Sub Item follows.

    • Workforce - Employee Data - Load employee position and attribute information or perform a complete load of employee information including compensations.

    • Workforce - Employee Compensation Item - Update salary (full-time or hourly wage type compensation items) and direct data Input compensation items in the Default scenario. This functionality allows you to incrementally update Workforce data versus reloading all Workforce data.

    Compensation Item Loads require that you load ALL compensation items for an employee.

    • Workforce - Employee Allocations - Load employee allocations (allocation percentages) for all periods of each fiscal year (across cost centers). For example, if the start year is 2017 and the scenario covers a two year time period, the load should contain allocations for 2017 and 2018. Also, each allocation needs to total 100%. If an employee expenses relate to two different departments, the compensation must allocate to 100% across both departments.
