Understanding the Change Employee Salary Process

eCompensation Manager Desktop provides three self service transactions that improve the efficiency for changing workers’ salaries.

Request Ad Hoc Salary Change.

A manager accesses Request Ad Hoc Salary Change. The system displays a list of the manager's direct reports as of the transaction effective date , and the manager has the option of selecting more than one worker. After the manager selects a worker, information about the salary change is entered.

Once the request is submitted, the system will either update compensation records or send a notification to the approving manager.
Approve Ad Hoc Salary Change.

The approving manager accesses Approve Ad Hoc Salary Change. The approving manager can either approve or deny the salary change for one or more workers. The details of the salary change cannot be altered. However, the approving manager can enter a comment.
View Ad Hoc Salary Change Status.

Managers can check on the status of the request using View Ad Hoc Salary Chg Status.
