Increase Type Code

Enter a code that indicates the reason for:

• Changing an active employee record.

• Terminating an employee.

• Recommending a change in salary or rate.

This is a user-defined code (06/T). If you are reactivating an employee, the code must be numeric. The code for new hires is the default reason code.

Allow Job Title Change

Select this option to indicate that the Job Title Change is enabled. If left blank, no change is enabled.

Ending Date

Enter the date on which the item, transaction, or table becomes inactive or through which you want transactions to appear. This field is used generically throughout the system. It could be a lease effective date, a price or cost effective date, a currency effective date, a tax rate effective date, or whatever is appropriate.

Budget Allocation Percent

Enter the budget amount that is allocated for a specific type of salary increase. This amount is expressed as a percentage.

Rounding Rule Code

Enter a code that specifies the rounding rule for an increase amount or a prorate amount. If a client uses prorating in the compensation review, the prorate amount is rounded. Otherwise, the increase amount is rounded.

Eligibility Table

Enter a code that identifies a specific table of eligibility rules. The rules determine whether the employee is eligible for a particular increase type.

Increase Guidelines table

Enter a table code that defines the increase guideline ranges for an increase type.

Date to base prorate on

A user-defined code (08/RM) that specifies the date to use for the basis of prorated calculations.

Allow prorate factor greater than 1.00

Select this option to indicate that the increase type allows a prorate factor greater than 1. If the increase type does not allow a prorate factor greater than 1, then all prorate factors greater than 1 are automatically changed to 1. When this option is selected, a prorate factor greater than 1 is enabled. When this option is not selected, a prorate factor greater than 1 is not enabled.
