This is not a new policy. Same procedure as last year Finance provide the Year today salary for each associate in a template. HR review the associate list to make sure we are not missing any people (transfer in/out) and input the conditions (sick, without pay, warnings, etc) in the file and the % approved bonus in that template.
Once ready send to us for review and if correct we send to payroll to prepare upload template to Eagle.
So there is 2 parts that we have to work together. Hope this clarifies.
