Atrieve Payroll

Employee Salary Grid Increment

The Employee Salary Grid Increment module updates the function line salary grid by stepping up one grid level for the employee's selected. It does this by taking a start and end character in the salary grid, and then adding one to this section. The new grid is then placed on the function line. Salary grids will not be incremented if the new grid number does not exist in the data base. To update the rate and hours to correspond to the new grid, run Salary Grid/Payroll Update.

When the Process atrieveHR Salary Grid Update field of the User Specific Parameters Profile is active this process will also update the atrieveHR Demographic and Assignment salary grids when applicable. The atrieveHR Demographic grid is only changed and a new atrieveHR Assignment is only created when there is a different in the salary grids. When this feature is used a second report #####P.LST is generated detailing the atrieveHR changes and/or errors.

Note: Entering ‘Y’ to the Run Salary/Grid Payroll Update prompt will run that module immediately after submitting this job to the Batch queue. The prompts will show up as normal and when completed this second job will be submitted to the batch queue as well.

To update the rate and/or hours on the function line based on the new salary grid value you MUST run the Salary Grid/Payroll Update once this process is completed. 

This process includes the option to maintain multiple sets of stored prompts.

Name the prompt sets by defining a title up to 10 characters, with a 30-character description.

On the first prompt click the Report Defaults icon to select an existing set of prompt values. You can delete prompt sets or change the description from the Report Default icon.
