Modelling Salary Packages for Applicants

This topic discusses how to define applicant salary packages.

If you use PeopleSoft Recruiting Solutions to track and administer applicants, you can create a salary package for applicants before you hire them. After you hire the applicant, Recruiting Solutions can copy the applicant salary package information into their employee record.

Note: The Applicant Salary Package component is similar to the Employee Salary Package component. The functions are the same with some exceptions. The system does not perform checks against employee job and employee tax records, as those records do not exists for applicants. Another difference is the start date. In applicant package modelling, the start date defaults to the package model effective date. Variation exists when defining the packaging options because an applicant does not have a job record from which to default package and tax information.

Set up salary package model information for applicants using the Applicant Salary Package component in the same way that you set up salary package model information for employees (using the Employee Salary Package component). All of the information on this page is identical to the information on the corresponding page for employees.

Package Definition

Field or Control

Description

Package Status

Displays Proposed for applicants. You can't confirm or enrol packages for applicants. The applicant would need to be hired, and then have the package confirmed and enrolled through the Employee Packaging pages.

Company

Select the company with the vacant position or job.

Job Code

The job code from the job requisition, which ensures that when modelling you are using the same defaults and rules that apply to the job for employees. The job code is not saved with the applicant model. It is used only to initialize the Template andRule ID fields.

Tax Scale andPayroll Tax State

These values are used in the calculation of gross to net income figures and payroll tax liabilities. However, if the applicant is not an employee, enter these values or select from the list of values.
