Understanding Common Settings for Compensation Management

Setting up the common settings for compensation management enables you to specify whether the application performs certain processes and how it performs these processes.

This table describes the common settings for data items in the Common Settings for EE Self Service Appl (Common Settings for Employee Self Service Applications) program (P05004):

Common Setting	Description
Eligibility Override Reflected in Budget (CMPBDGT)	If you want the salary of an employee whose eligibility you overrode to be included in budget calculations, you need to set this setting to Yes.
Open Compensation Review (CMPOPEN)	When the human resources department grants supervisors access to the compensation review process, you need to set this setting to Yes. While you are setting up compensation management and after the managers have finished the review process, set this setting to No.
Allow Override of Increase Eligibility (CMPOVEL)	To enable the manager to override the default eligibility of an employee for an increase type, set this setting to Yes.
Use Prorate Factor in Compensation Review (CMPPRFT)	To use prorate factors in the compensation review, set this setting to Yes.
Use Prorate amount as Spent Amount (CMPSPNT)	If you chose to use prorate factors and you want the prorated amount to be reflected in the spent calculations, set this setting to Yes. If you want the full increase amount to be reflected in the spent calculations, set this setting to No.
Synchronize Compensation Work Tables (CMPSYNC)	Use this common setting to indicate whether to synchronize the compensation work tables with employee changes. After the compensation work tables are built, set this setting to Yes to keep the compensation review work tables synchronized with the employee changes that you made to the employee master table. After the human resources department closes the compensation review process to the managers, set this setting to No.
Clear Add New Employee to Workfile (CMPEEWF)	If you do not want to add new or changed employee records to the Compensation Root Work Table (F08830WF), set this common setting to Yes. The system adds the records when this setting is set to No.
