Perform the following procedure to create defaults that specify the basic position settings that new positions, in a particular entity, inherit. This enables you for example, to ensure that all new positions created in your entity are shared, have the same salary grade step assigned, and have the same adjustment date.
Note: | If you do not specify the required settings in the default, you must specify them at the position-level. |
Applies to the Position budget detail and the Position and Employee budget detail
To define defaults for new positions:
Expand Budget Preparation, and then select Manage compensation defaults for each entity or Manage compensation defaults.
From Page, select the HR organization.
The Details area displays any existing position defaults such as associated jobs, position start and end dates, and salary basis.
Select the type that, if not overwritten when you define positions, new positions inherit. For example, selecting Shared means that all new positions added to the cost center are automatically shared positions unless you specify otherwise.
Make no selection to enable users to specify a position type when they create positions.
Specify the following:
Start Date—When positions start
Adjustment Date—When changes to compensation elements that are assigned to positions are applied (annual bonuses or a new health benefit option, for example)
Salary Basis—How often employees assigned to positions are paid (weekly or bi-monthly, for example)
Default Weekly Hours—Number of hours per week
Annual Salary Spread—How salary expenses for positions are spread across the accounting periods in your organization. See About Specifying Annual Salary Spreads.
Add or change salary grades, see Specifying Salary Grade Defaults .
Remove salary grade defaults by right-clicking, and then selecting Delete.
