Salary Grid Increment by Date

The Salary Grid Increment by Date program provides a salary grid increment process based on the employee's Increment date, as defined on the master Pay screen. This process will update the function line salary grids by stepping up one grid level. A salary grid is incremented by adding one to a user-defined position within the salary grid. Traditionally the 5th and 6th positions of the salary grid are used to represent the years of service and this is the position incremented. For example, with a grid of TE0001, the 01 in the 5th and 6th position represents the years of service. An increment would add one and generate salary grid TE0002.

The employee is selected for increment when the employee's Increment date falls within the selected range of dates. Optionally you can define the Increment date to be advanced (reset) for the next increment. You can have the Increment date advanced by adding years, months or even days to the current Increment date to define the next Increment date.

Employees cannot be incremented to a salary grid that does not exist within the payroll salary grid database. Employees that do not an Increment date will be omitted from both processing and reporting.

Function lines that contain an Override Salary Grid will be omitted from processing. The Override Salary Grids are defined in the Override Salary Grids field of the User Specific Parameters Profile.

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.

When the Process atrieveHR Salary Grid Updates field of the Users 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.

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.

Advance Increment Date When Grid Increments

  • Enter 'Y' to have the Increment date changed to a future date when the employees receive a salary grid increment.

  • Enter 'N' when the Increment date is not to be changed when an employee receives a salary grid increment.

When 'Y'ES Advance the Increment, Date WAS Selected:

Advance Increment Date by Year Months Days

You will be prompted for the number of years, months or days to be added to the employee's Increment date in order to build the next increment date. You can leave any or all fields empty as needed. When the results are an invalid date, the employee's Increment date is not changed.

  • Enter 'Y' to omit the reporting of function lines that do not have a higher step available for the existing salary grid.

  • Enter 'N' to include the reporting of all function lines where the increment position of the salary grid is not numeric. Salary grids with non-numeric values in the increment position will not be incremented.

  • Enter 'Y' to omit the reporting of function lines where the increment position of the salary grid is a non-numeric value.

Report Only or Process Increment
