Assigning Default Salary Plans, Grades, and Steps to a Worker

You specify a worker's salary administration plan, grade, and step on the Job Data - Salary Plan page. When you hire or transfer a worker, the system enters default values in these fields. You can assign default salary plans, grades, and steps to a worker in one or a combination of the following ways:

• Associate the salary plan with a location on the Location Profile page.

• Associate the salary plan with a job code on the Job Code Table - Default Compensation page.

• Associate a salary plan with a labor agreement on the Salary Plan Grades page.

• Assign a salary plan directly to a worker on the Job Data - Salary Plan page.

• Associate a salary plan with a military rank in the Military Service table, Grades Associated with Ranks page.

Whether you tie salary plans to locations, job codes, rank, or a combination of these, the system ultimately enters default compensation information on the worker's compensation record, where you can change it. The system verifies that any combinations of salary administration plans and grades that you select are valid and exist in the system. If the combination does not exist, the system issues a warning message.

Note:

If you want the system to automatically enter step component rates in the job data, select Multi-Step Grade on the Installation Table - HCM Options page.
