Compensation Workbench - Recap of Enhancements (until 12.1 RUP7)

At the outset, a disclaimer is due - this article is a report from a presentation from Oracle HR User Group 2014.

My intent behind putting up this article is to serve as a starting point for folks who have implemented Compensation Workbench may be 2-3 years back, and are just getting started to implement or support another CWB client. Obviously, this article will start to get dated and will need revisions as newer versions are out. But for now, here it is, served fresh straight from the grill:
