Entering Budgeted Salary Change Requests
Managers use the Request Budgeted Salary Change transaction to request or perform a merit increase for their direct reports. The manager selects an employee or a group and enters an increase for selected salary components. For groups with allocated budgets, the manager can adjust the increases for individuals in the group and compare the results with the budget. When the changes are complete, the manager submits the requests for approval. The submitted requests are routed for approval.
