Review these considerations for managing seniority bonuses:

  • You can assign day bonuses to employees to reduce the seniority that is necessary before step increment.

  • Step duration reductions are given in years, months, and days and are associated with the step.

  • When an employee is in a substep, the step duration reduction is not granted within the substep, but within the step that corresponds to the scale letter.

  • Step duration reductions are taken into account in the seniority calculation collective process.

  • For step duration reductions, the system can control the number of bonus days.

    If the corps setup authorizes a step duration reduction control, the number of bonus days must not exceed the difference between the average step duration and the minimum step duration. Minimum and average step duration is defined on the Steps page. Seniority reduction control is defined on the Corps page.

Note: Day bonuses reduce the seniority that is necessary before step increment but they do not reduce the seniority necessary before substep increment.

Use the Sen Bonus Days (seniority bonus days) page (FPABONUS_PNL2) to assign day bonuses.
