Automatic Step Increment Page

RUNCTL_FPA320

Launch the Automatic Step Increment PSJob process (FPA001) to move all employees with an activated Advancement Flag. The Automatic Step Increment process (FPA001) combines two SQR processes, Employees to be Promoted process (FPA310) and the Step Increment process (FPA320).

If you run the FPA001 process, you do not need to run the FPA310 process. You can run the Step Increment Date process (FPA005) and proceed immediately to the automatic step increment by running the FPA001 process.

Step Increment Page

RUNCTL_FPA320

Run the Step Increment process (FPA320).

Using the Step Increment SQR process (FPA320), you can automatically move all employees whose Advancement Flag has been activated. Before launching this process, indicate which corps to process.

The process updates the employees' Career records. A new row is inserted with the following field values:

  • The Effective Date is the expected advancement date.

  • The Action and Reason codes are defined in the FPS Installation table for step or substep increments.

  • The step or substep is the Next Step for Advancement that is defined on the Salary Grade Steps page.
