The Employee Compensation History page shows the starting salary and all subsequent increases a worker has received. It shows the Hire and Rehire actions, and administrative actions that resulted in a change in salary data. It does not display every administrative action; for example, it does not show job movement.

It also shows the number of months since the worker's last increase, as well as how long the worker has been in a salary grade as of today. The details by pay component appear in a grid at the bottom of the page.

Use the Employee Compensation History page (COMP_SUMMARY) to view the history of all pay rate changes the worker has received to date as an administrator.

This reference is useful when planning new increases.
