Defining salary, compensation element, and allocation defaults enables you to:
Automatically apply specific salary, compensation element options, and salary allocations to new positions or jobs. Existing or new employees that are not yet assigned to these positions or jobs inherit the defaults when assigned.
In the Position budget detail, and the Position and Employee budget detail, specify defaults at the entity level; enabling you to apply default salary grades and compensation for positions and associated employees in an HR organization (cost center, department, and so on). In the Employee budget detail, specify defaults at the job-level, and activate jobs.
Have Public Sector Planning and Budgeting quickly match jobs and positions with salary and compensation based on the default criteria that you define.
For example, to use the same salary grade steps to all positions in a union, regardless of position type or job, define a default for which you specify only the union code, and leave applicable job and applicable location blank or select All. This enables the product to apply the salary steps to union-specific employees regardless of their job or location.
