Understanding Employee Salary Changes
You might need to change salaries for an employee or a group of employees. For example, you might give an employee a raise to complement a promotion, or you might increase all salaries because of inflation.
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, but you can also change the employee salary. 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. 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).
This table illustrates alternate methods for changing employee salaries:
Method |
Description |
---|---|
Individual employee changes |
You can manually change the value in the Salary field using the Basic Compensation program (P0801CMP). |
Future date changes |
If a salary change will not take effect until a future date, you can enter information using the Future Data EE Master Revisions program (P06042). |
High volume changes |
You can reduce data entry time by changing salaries for groups of employees using the Employee Master Mass Changes program (P06045). |
