Salary Plans for Workforce Administration

Salary plans represent individual compensation programs such as merit increases, optional increases, bonuses, or incentive stock options and include specific qualifications and funding.

Before you can use the eCompensation Manager Desktop business process, you need to set up the control tables that support it. You define your salary plans, grades, and steps on a series of control tables. At each level, you define parameters such as review rating scale and currency.

Depending upon how your organization defines its salary structures, you may set up salary increase matrix guidelines on the Salary Increase Matrix Table page. Set up this table only if you use matrix guidelines in your organization to plan salary increases.

Define each salary plan with a unique ID on the Define Salary Plan page. For each salary grade, you may set up salary steps with pay components and their compensation values and currency on the Salary Step Components page. The system uses salary structures to establish default compensation packages. For this reason, you can access the same salary plan setup pages through the Workforce Administration menu.
