Reject a submitted proposal

When you don’t agree with a proposed compensation change or want to return the compensation review to the original reviewer for more information, you can reject a submitted proposal.

To reject a submitted compensation proposal:

Select the Changes & approvals tab in the compensation review.

In the Proposals for approval section, select and review a proposal with a status of Ready for review or Skipped, ready for review.

Select Reject request for the selected proposal. The Reject request dialog displays.

Enter a reason in the Reason for rejection field. A reason is required.

Select Submit.

The proposal status changes to Rejected, awaiting updates and it is sent back to the reviewer directly below you. The reviewer sees your reason at the top of their compensation review and gets a task to update their proposal. Proposals from reviewers further down stay submitted.

As an approver, you can also add employee-specific comments to explain why you rejected the proposal and to suggest changes. Comments are visible to others in the approval chain, the collaborators working with them, and your compensation review admins.
