Compensation Task Administration
The Compensation Task Administration screen enables administrators to configure and assign compensation planning and modeling tasks to managers in the organization. Only managers can be assigned a compensation task. While configuring a compensation task, administrators can select which compensation templates are used in the compensation plan, as well as the planning dates, the dates on which the compensation is based, the availability of the task, and also the approval and manager workflow.

The following information is displayed for each task:
- Name
- Description
- Created By
- Task Period - This displays the duration of the compensation task for standard tasks. The task period is the time frame that managers have to complete the task. For off-cycle tasks, this is a relative date, so Off Cycle is displayed here.
- Status
- Active - When this option is selected, the task is active. When a task is deactivated, managers do not have access to the task.
- If an off-cycle task is made inactive, the system does not check the date settings in the Assignment Criteria, so the off-cycle task is not assigned to any users. If the task is reactivated, the system does not retroactively auto-assign the task for days in the past.
- Dynamically Assigned - When this option is selected, the task is dynamically assigned to the managers that match the specified availability of the task. If a manager no longer matches the availability, they are removed from the task. If a manager changes positions and now matches the availability, they are assigned the task.
