Wage Progression Business Process

To insure timely reflection of the increased pay rate in a worker's paycheck, evaluate workers on wage progression for step increases prior to each payroll.

To manage wage progression:

  1. Set up wage progression run IDs on the Wage Progression Run ID page (HR_WP_ID_DEFN).

    Wage progression run IDs determine the population of workers considered for processing. The run ID is the key value in progression processes.

    See Understanding Wage Progression Run IDs.

  2. To process wage progression rules based on time worked , you must import time data into the wage progression staging table.

    Use the Extract Payroll Data process (HR_EXTRT_NAP) to extract the last pay period's confirmed time data from Payroll for North America. Write additional processes to extract data from other time sources. The Update Wage Progression - Update Activity with Time Data process retrieves the time data from this table.

    See Understanding the Extract Payroll Data Process.

  3. Run the Update Wage Progression processes from the Update Wage Progression page (RUN_UPD_WP_ACTVTY).

    To be included in wage progression processing, a worker must have the following:

    • A labor agreement.

    • A bargaining unit.

    • The Stop Wage Progression check box on the Job Data - Job Labor and Review Wage Progression page is not checked.

    See Understanding the Update Wage Progression Process.

  4. Use the Approve Employees to Advance page (HR_WP_ADVANCE) to approve workers for wage progression if approval is required by the salary plan's wage progression rule.

    See Approving and Processing Wage Advancements.

    Note:

    To set up a salary plan requiring advancement approval, select the Advancement Approval Required check box on the Salary Plan Table - Define Wage Progression Rule page (SALARY_PLAN_TABLE2).

    The system will automatically approve workers for advancement if their job and time data meets the advancement criteria and if their plan's wage progression does not require approval for advancement.

    See PeopleSoft Human Resources Administer Compensation: Understanding Wage Progression and Administer Compensation.

  5. Process workers approved for advancement using the Advance Employees to next Step process (HR_WP_ADV) from the Process Wage Progression page (RUN_UPD_WP_ADVC).

    See Process Wage Progression Page.

At any point in the process, you can review or modify a worker's wage progression activity details on the Review Wage Progression page (HR_WP_MAINT_HIST).

See Review Wage Progression Page.
