If your departments or cost centers have positions to which certain compensation elements apply (hazard pay for police officers, for example), define these elements as entity-specific compensation defaults. These compensation details are automatically applied to new positions in your entity.
To specify compensation defaults:
Ensure that a member exists for the element. For example, to add a Vision Care benefit, ensure that a Vision Care benefit member exists in the Element dimension.
Perform steps 1 to 5 in Maintaining Position Defaults by Entity.
Define compensation defaults by specifying:
Option—Plan or method available for the element, such as Survivor Spouse and Children for health insurance coverage
Applicable Jobs to which to assign the compensation default
Enter Override Value — Amount by which the default element or attribute can change, if you enabled Allow Value Change Input.
Applicable Location Code — Geographical or regional areas to which to apply the defaults
Applicable Union Code—Union to whose positions you want to assign the compensation defaults
Tip:
Specify the lowest number of criteria to match and apply compensation defaults to positions, jobs, and the associated employees. For example, if all IT Support Staff, regardless of location or union, are eligible for an overtime compensation element, select IT Support Staff in Applicable Job, and leave Applicable Union Code, and Applicable Location Code blank or select All.
To add compensation defaults, right-click, select Add Other Compensation, and specify information such as:
Other Compensation Element—Compensation element (drug benefit, for example) to add
Select Option—Plan or implementation of the compensation element such as Member and Spouse, or overtime as additional earnings
Select Job—Jobs to which to add the element
Enter Override Option Value—Value by which the planners can change the compensation element value for individual positions (increasing a benefit default value by $200, for example).
