Change employee salaries when no allocated budget exists.
Handle errors or warnings.
eCompensation Manager Desktop provides three self service transactions that improve the efficiency for changing employee salaries:
Request Ad Hoc Salary Change.

View Ad Hoc Salary Change Status.
To complete the salary change process, a manager:
Accesses the Request Ad Hoc Salary Change page.
The system displays a list of the manager's direct reports.
Selects one or more employees.
Enters information about the salary change.
Submits the request.
The system either updates the job compensation records or sends notifications to the approving managers.
The approving manager:
Accesses the Approve Ad Hoc Salary Change page.
Approves or denies the salary change for one or more employees.
The details of the salary change cannot be altered. However, the approving manager can enter a comment regarding the salary change.
Note. Using the View Ad Hoc Chg Status page, managers can check on the status of the request. If an administrator needs to process the data, they can access the Workflow Inquiry page.

Activate Workflow.
Set up group build if Group ID is going to be used as the access type for managers requesting salary changes for their direct reports.
Set up the access type for HR_MGR_SALCHANGE on the Direct Reports Setup page.
