Understanding the Update Seniority Pay Process

Many organizations pay a premium for seniority. Seniority is the length of time that a person works for an organization.

The Update Seniority Pay process adds and updates seniority rate codes in worker compensation packages. The process determines whether each worker's compensation package contains the correct seniority rate codes.

If a worker's compensation package contains a seniority rate code:

1. The system determines whether adequate time has passed for the worker to reach the next seniority level.

2. If the worker is eligible for the next seniority level, the system inserts a new job row and adds a new compensation package with the seniority rate code and corresponding amount of pay for the next seniority level.

If the worker's compensation package does not contain a seniority rate code:

1. The system inserts a new job row with an action of Pay Rate Change and a new action reason of SEN (seniority).

2. The system updates the worker's compensation package to add the seniority rate code.
