Confirming Salary Packages

When you have completed the modelling process and the employee has selected a package, confirm the selection online to identify the package against which payments should be made. Approving or confirming a modelled package is the last phase prior to enrolling the employee into the salary package.

As each employee chooses a package, identify the selected package by selecting the Confirmed check box on the Package Model page in the Salary Package component. After the package is confirmed, run the Package Enrolment process to enrol the employee based on the components in the package—Compensation > Salary Packaging AUS > Create Salary Packaging > Enroll Salary Package.

Note: After a package has been confirmed, the package status remains as proposed. This means that the employee has made a selection but has not yet been enrolled into the package. After the enrolment process is complete, the package status is updated to current and payments are made in accordance with the package components.

If you use PeopleSoft Recruiting Solutions to track and administer job applicants, you can create salary package models for applicants.

When you hire an applicant from the PeopleSoft Recruiting Solutions system, most applicant data information is automatically copied to the employee record. However, applicant salary packages are not automatically copied over. Instead, you must explicitly use the Copy Salary Package action in the recruiting system. This action is available only for hired applicants.

Note: Because you can't confirm applicant package models, you must copy the applicant’s salary package information to an employee salary package after completing the hire process.

After an applicant’s salary package model is copied to the new employee record, you can confirm the employee package and complete the Package Enrolment process as you would for other employees.
