Proposing a Salary Change for a Current Employee

Note: It is recommended to use the Salary page for all salary administration tasks. However, if you choose to use the Salary Administration window, follow the instructions below.

Use the Salary Administration window to propose a salary change for a current employee at any time. You can enter a salary proposal as a new amount, a single change amount or multiple change amounts or percentages (reflecting different reasons, such as a merit award and a cost of living component).

If there is an unapproved salary proposal recorded for the assignment, approve or delete it first before entering a new proposal.

You might want to associate a salary proposal with a performance review before you enter the salary proposal information. If you already have the Salary Administration window displayed, choose the Performance button, otherwise, from the Assignment window select Others then Performance. Complete the relevant information.

See: Entering Performance Ratings

arrow icon   To propose a salary change for a current employee:

  1. Enter the date when the new salary comes into effect in the Change Date field in the Salary Proposal region.

    Note: If you are changing the salary basis, you must enter the exact date it changes.

  2. There are several ways to enter a proposal:

    Entering a New Amount or the Amount of Percentage Change

  3. Enter a new salary amount, or the amount or percentage of the proposed change in the Salary Proposal region.

  4. You can select a reason for the overall salary change.

  5. You can approve the proposal, by checking the Approved box, if you have the authority.

    Entering Multiple Components

    Enter each component of the salary proposal in the Proposal Components region.

  6. Select the reason for the first component of the proposal.

  7. Select either the amount or percentage of the component.

    Each percentage is applied to the last approved salary. For example, if the last approved salary is 3000 and there are two components of 10% and 5%, the new amount is 3000 + 300 + 150.

    Note: To effect a salary decrease, enter a negative number in the Change Value or Change % field.

  8. Repeat step 6 and 7 to enter each remaining component.

  9. You can approve each component, by checking the Approved box independently. However, none of the approvals go into effect until you approve the overall proposal.

    Changing Other Information

  10. Enter or change the Next Review date, if required. (If you entered a time period for regular salary reviews in the Salary Information region of the Assignment window, the date of the next review appears automatically.)
