Information Displayed in the Salary Increase by Performance Pivot Grid

The Salary Increase by Performance pivot grid provides managers a snapshot of the proposed salary increase percentage for each performance rating. They can drill down into a performance rating to find out how many employees (direct and indirect reports) fall into that rating and who they are. Information provided in this pivot grid allows managers to reward their employees commensurate with their performance level.

Important! In order for performance data to be retrieved for use in this pivot grid, integration with PeopleSoft ePerformance is required.

When viewed in the grid format, this pivot grid displays the minimum and maximum percentages of salary increase available to an employee, which is defined on the Salary page of the compensation cycle definition. If such information is not available for the employee in the system, the values will be displayed as zero for the employee in the chart.

Data displayed in this pivot grid pertains to the compensation cycle from which the pivot grid is generated and it is available only for salary plans. It is not available to variable compensation plans.

The initial view of the pivot grid shows the count of all salary increase proposals, broken down by rating.

When you click a segment of the pivot grid, you can select to:

  • View the details of the segment in a grid format. For example, details of all salary increases initiated for the Exceeds Expectations rating.

  • View further drill-down of the segment data using these dimensions in the chart format:

    • Job Code

    • Employee Name

    For example, a bar chart showing all salary increases initiated for the Exceeds Expectations rating, broken down by job code.

Information Displayed in the Variable Compensation by Performance Pivot Grid

The Variable Compensation by Performance pivot grid is similar to the Salary Increase by Performance pivot grid in purpose and functionality. The only differences are:

  • The Variable Compensation by Performance pivot grid is built for variable compensation (non-salary) plans that are cash type plans.

  • Proposed amount is shown as the only Y-axis. For the Salary Increase by Performance pivot grid, there are a number of facts you can select as the Y-axis..

Important! In order for performance data to be retrieved for use in this pivot grid, integration with PeopleSoft ePerformance is required.

The initial view of the pivot grid shows the summed proposal amounts of all cash-type variable compensation proposals, broken down by performance rating. When you click a segment of the chart, you can select to:

  • View the details of the segment in a grid format. For example, details of all variable compensation proposals initiated for the Exceeds Expectations rating.

  • View further drill-down of the segment data using these dimensions in the chart format:

    • Job Code

    • Employee Name

Information Displayed in the Salary Analysis Pivot Grid

Managers can use the Salary Analysis pivot grid to compare salary compensation for all their direct and indirect reports. When viewed in the grid format, this pivot grid displays the salary minimum, maximum, and midpoint of an employee, which is defined on the salary grade assigned to each employee. If such information is not available for the employee in the system, the values will be displayed as zero for the employee in the chart.

Data displayed in this pivot grid pertains to the compensation cycle from which the pivot grid is generated and it covers all salary plans within that cycle. Variable compensation plans are not included.

The initial view of the pivot grid shows the average current annual salaries of all direct and indirect reports of the manager, broken down by employee name. When you click a segment of the chart, you can select to view the details of the segment in a grid format, which is the salary information the selected employee.

Information Displayed in the Compensation Distribution Pivot Grid

From the Compensation Distribution pivot grid, managers can see how their employees are compensated in terms of salary pay, specifically, where they are in relation to their respective salary ranges.

Data displayed in this pivot grid pertains to the compensation cycle from which the pivot grid is generated and it covers all plans within that cycle.

The initial view of the pivot grid shows the employee count (direct and indirect reports of the manager) for each of these salary range categories:

  • Below the salary range minimum

  • Within the salary range, but below the salary midpoint

  • Within the salary range and at or above the salary midpoint

  • Above the salary range maximum

A salary range category is not visible if the corresponding count is zero.

When you click a segment of the chart, you can select to:

  • View the details of the segment in a grid format. For example, details of employees in the within or above mid-point category.

  • View further drilldown of the segment data using these dimensions in the chart format:

    • Group Status

    • Employee Name

    • Job Family

    For example, a bar chart showing employee counts in the within or above mid-point category, broken down by job family code.

Note: This pivot grid is not available to cycles that are in any status prior to Opened.

Information Displayed in the Cycle Guideline Alert Pivot Grid

From the Cycle Guideline Alert pivot grid, administrators can see the counts of salary allocation proposals that fall within, as well as outside of the recommended guidelines respectively. Data for this pivot grid is based on all salary proposals that are associated with the compensation cycle from which this pivot grid is generated.

Note: If none of the plans for the cycle contains a maximum allowed salary percentage increase, the pivot grid is not applicable and therefore not displayed under the Compensation Analytics link.

The initial view of the pivot grid shows the salary proposal counts, broken down by guideline compliance (Within Guidelines or Outside Guidelines). Within Guidelines refers to any proposals where the proposed percentage increase is equal to or greater than the minimum salary percent increase and either one of the following two conditions apply:

  • The proposed percentage increase is equal to or less than the maximum salary percent increase.

  • The maximum salary percent increase is zero.

Any proposals that do not meet these conditions are considered Outside Guidelines.

The system uses these formulas to calculate the proposed percentage increase for the Cycle Guideline Alert pivot grid:

Proposed Percentage Increase = Proposed Amount / Total Annual Salary * 100 (if proposed amount > 0)

Otherwise,

Proposed Percentage Increase = Calculated Amount / Total Annual Salary * 100

When you click a segment of the chart, you can select to:

  • View the details of the segment in a grid format, for example, details of all proposals that are within guidelines.

  • View further drill-down of the segment data using these dimensions in the chart format:

    • Group Node

    • Department

    • Salary Plan

    • Location

    • Job Code

    • Employee Name

    For example, a bar chart showing all proposals that are within guidelines, broken down by department.

The Cycle Tracking pivot grid gives administrators a quick status view of all salary allocation proposals pertaining to the compensation cycle from which the pivot grid is generated.

Note: This pivot grid is not available to cycles that are in any status prior to Opened.

When you click a segment of the chart, you can select to:

  • View the details of the segment in a grid format, for example, details of all proposals in the Calculated status.

  • View further drill-down of the segment data using these dimensions in the chart format:

    • Group Node

    • Salary Plan

    • Location

    • Job Code

    • Employee Name
