Basic Process to Default Salary Amounts from Grade Ladder Rates

Here's how you can populate someone's salary amount from grade ladder rates during HR actions that change their grade ladder, grade, or step. Examples of these HR actions are Hire, Transfer, and Promote.

   • Set Include Salary Updates to Yes.
   • Set Salary Calculation Method to Use grade step rate.
2. Make sure that people have a salary basis where the salary amount is determined by user or simple component. If you select any other salary basis type, the grade ladder won't default the salary amount. If it uses simple components, the salary basis needs to include a Progression grade ladder rate component. You configure salary bases using the Salary Basis task.e
3. Include the Salary section in your HR action. You might need to configuration responsive pages using Transaction Design Studio in HCM Experience Design Studio.
4. Include the Grade Ladder, Grade, and Step attributes in your HR action. You need to configure responsive pages, using Transaction Design Studio in HCM Experience Design Studio.

   Exception: If your grades don't have steps, then you don't need to include the Step attribute in your HR actions.
