Understanding Employee Salary Changes Using Pay Rate Information

You can change an employee salary using pay rate information. This method is preferable when you are changing an employee hourly, billing, or piecework rate because you directly enter the change to the rate. You can specify the change as a monetary amount or as a percentage of the employee current pay rate, and you can enter a change that takes effect on a future date. For example, suppose that you enter a future effective date after you enter a pay rate change. When the future date occurs, the system can automatically update the employee pay rate information. To automate this process, you must either run JD Edwards EnterpriseOne payrolls or run the Employee Master Update (R06394) daily in the job scheduler. When you run the R06394, and turn on the CMPSYNC FLAG, then the system sends an e-mail to all Managers for employees whose pay rate are being updated. If the effective date is between pay cycles, the new rate appears in the payment for the first pay period after the effective date.

You use pay rate information to update only one employee record at a time. Information entered in the Pay Rate Information program (P060131) updates the Employee Master Information table (F060116).
