The Start Workforce Compensation Cycle Process and Assignment Segments

Data has to exist in the external data table before you run the initial Start Workforce Compensation Cycle process for a workforce compensation plan. Running the process again won't fill in any missing rows or add new external data rows.

• They meet the selected criteria.
• They have an end date between the evaluation period start date of the plan cycle and the process effective date.

When you run the Start Workforce Compensation Cycle process, it considers only those external data rows specific to the plan assignments. The rows need to have an end date. And the end date has to be between the evaluation period start date and the HR data extraction date.

The process considers data in the external data table as a part of assignment segments if these conditions are true:

• The end date of the row is between the evaluation period start date and HR data extraction date. Or, the row end date is between the evaluation period start date of the plan cycle and the person's employment termination date. This way the process gets assignment segment rows for terminated workers.
• The date columns use the format YYYY/MM/DD.

After you run the Start Workforce Compensation Cycle process, you can change certain editable plan configuration settings, including these:

• Record Type on the Configure Assignment Segments page
• Amount Column for Assignment Segments on the Edit Component dialog box opened from the Configure Compensation Component page
