Tying Salary Plans to Job Codes, Locations, or Labor Agreements

The system uses the salary grade and step from the Job Code table. It uses the salary plan ID to determine the compensation data that is associated with the grade and step. The salary plan ID can be tied to the job code, location, or labor agreement.

To set up a salary structure reflecting location differences, tie salary plans to locations in the Location table. The salary plan that is associated with the location overrides the salary plan that is tied to the job code. When you select a location for a worker in the Job Data pages, the system enters the salary plan ID from the Location table.

If location differences don't matter, enter a salary plan ID only in the Job Code table. When you select a job code for a worker in the Job Data pages, the system enters the salary plan from the Job Code table.

To set up a salary structure reflecting compensation differences reflecting wage agreements, associate the salary plan to the labor agreement on the Job Data - Salary Plan page.
