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.

Important! This Request Ad Hoc Salary Change feature (classic version) is no longer supported. It is replaced by the Request Ad Hoc Salary Change guided self-service transaction in Fluid. For ad hoc salary change approvals, approvers with access to Fluid Approval pages can process requests using the Approvals tile on the Manager Self-Service home page. For more information about guided self-service transactions, performing and approving ad hoc salary requests in Fluid, see Understanding Guided Self-Service Transactions and Compensation Details Page.
