Understanding Compensation History

Managers use the Compensation History transaction to review or verify employees’ compensation history. The Compensation History page contains:

  • Access to a chart that displays compensation data of the employee in a graphical format by compensation source and time period.

    If the employee has multiple jobs under the same manager, the same number of rows appear for the employee in the grid where the manager selects an employee and his or her job to review.

  • A grid that displays the entire list of compensation changes pertaining to the employee’s job, which include base salary, variable cash, variable non-cash, and stock option type changes.

    Items are displayed in chronological order, with the most recent displayed first. The manager can click the date link to access a modal page to view additional information about the change.

Conditional Navigation for Compensation History

When managers access the compensation history of employees through the menu navigation, global search or related actions, they are taken to either the fluid or classic version of the component depending on the presence of a user role. This behavior is known as conditional navigation.

If managers are members of the Compensation Manager Fluid user role, they are given access to the fluid version of the transaction on the View Compensation History Page (Fluid Manager View). Managers without this role view compensation history using the classic version of the transaction on the Viewing Compensation History page.
