Changing Employee Salaries When No Allocated Budget Exists
This topic discusses how to change employee salaries when no allocated budget exists, by requesting ad hoc salary changes.
Note: Request Ad Hoc Salary Change is a system-delivered guided self-service transaction in PeopleSoft HCM. It is the fluid version of the transaction, and is used for submitting ad hoc salary requests if submitters have access to it. As for ad hoc salary change approvals, approvers with access to Fluid Approval pages process requests using the Approvals tile on the Manager Self-Service home page. Those without Fluid Approval page access review and approve requests on the classic Approve Ad Hoc Salary Change page.
In this topic, the classic version of the salary request transactions are used to demonstrate how to request ad hoc salary changes for employees and how these requests are approved (or denied).
The transactions to request and approve ad hoc salary changes work similarly in both versions. Refer to the Understanding Guided Self-Service Transactions and Performing Guided Self-Service Transactions in Manager Self-Service topics for information about guided self-service transactions.
