Managing Cash CFR on EngageAny
This section explains how to approve, fulfil or refund these Cash CFRs
Approving and pushing Cash CFR to payroll
1) To view the list of pending redemption requests, go to Engage > Rewards > “Manage Requests”.
In the Redemption Request page, if there are Cash CFR requests, it will look like this:
Cash CFR requests have “Cash” Reward Type and “Cash Amount”. You can filter based on Reward Types to narrow down your search.
To approve the request, simply click the “Tick”. This will display a popup where you need to indicate the Payroll month that you want to push the cash amount to.
Upon confirmation, the status of the Cash CFR will change to Approved. In addition, there is a short description of which payroll month the cash amount is being pushed to.
Note: You must approve the Cash CFR first before generating a payrun. Any cash CFR approved after the payrun is generated will not be included in that payrun.
Viewing Cash Incentive on Payroll
To view the Cash Incentive in the payroll, simply go to Payroll > Payroll List.
Select “Edit Payroll” on a payroll.
Within “Edit Payroll”, you can see “Cash Incentive” under the Pay Items Column. The amount shown in the input is the total cash amount of Cash CFR that the staff has been approved for.
For example, Staff A has 3 approved Cash CFRs, totalling to $50 ($20, $20, $10), that were all pushed to the February payroll. The cash amount shown in the text field should be $50.
Fulfilling Cash CFR
Once the cash incentive has been disbursed to the staff via payroll, you can set the request as “Fulfilled” by selecting “Fulfil”. A confirmation popup will appear.
Note: Once a request is fulfilled, you cannot refund back the coins to the affected staff.
All “Fulfilled” requests will be housed in the “Completed” tab.
Refunding Cash CFR
In the event when you need to refund the coins back to the staff, you can follow this refund flow.
1) Click “Refund” under the Actions column.
2) A popup will appear. Confirm to proceed with the refund.
After the refund is made, the affected staff should receive their coins. The request entry will be pushed to the “Completed” tab.
3) To remove the “Cash Incentive” pay item from the payroll, simply go to the payroll that the cash amount was pushed to and delete the “Cash Incentive” entry by clicking the “Trash” icon.
Note: After refunding, you will need to remove the pay item from the payroll to ensure that the cash incentive is not being counted.
Viewing Cash Incentive on Payslip
Cash Incentive will also appear in the staff’s payslips under the “Earnings (A)” section.
