Process Details

Class and Salary Manager maintains the Compensation Plans

HRIS Functional Administrator determines if the employees have steps. If yes, the Administrator runs the calculate compensation process to insert a new row and refresh any future row with the increased compensation. If no, the criteria is defined to select the employees that need to be updated along with the salary increase specifications and the mass update is created to select all the workers who are receiving the salary increase. The HRIS Functional Administrator runs the report to review or preview the transactions in order to manage the transactions, update and change the status of the pending transactions. Then, runs the execute mass updates process to load all the worker data to the job data pages.
