Defining Job Codes and Occupation Codes

To define job code premiums and occupations, use the Jobcode Premiums (FPMJB_RATECODE) and Occupations (FPNBUSINESS_PNL) components.

The job code is a unique code that you associate with a specific job in your organization. Just as grades are shared between different statuses, jobs are shared among the entities that compose your organization.

An entity enables you to decentralize management of your organization. If you want to centralize corporate data management, use one setID.

This section discusses how to define job code premiums and occupations.

Description

Rate Code

Enter the rate code associated with the premium. Depending on the rate code type (flat amount, percentage, or points), you can enter a compensation rate, the number of points, or the percent and the rate code group.

This flexibility enables you to apply a premium to the main salary or to the base salary. To apply a premium to:

  • The main salary, use a rate code or define a rate code group that contains the rate code that is related to the indexed salary.

  • The base salary, group the rate codes that are related to the indexed salary and the additional compensation items.

Comp Rate (compensation rate) and Rate Code Group

If you selected a Percentage rate code, the Comp Rate field is unavailable, and the Rate Code Group field is available for entry. Enter the rate code group on which the percentage is going to be applied.

Points

If you selected a Points rate code, you can enter the number of points.

Percent

If you selected a Percentage rate code, this field becomes available and you can enter the percentage.

Comp Freq (compensation frequency)

Select the compensation frequency.

If you selected a rate code other than Percentage, this field is selected or not based on the rate code definition.
