How You Validate Salary Changes with the Grade Range

You can verify that salary changes fall within the appropriate range for each person using grade range validation.

This validation generates a warning message when someone enters a new or adjusted salary that's outside the person's assignment grade range. The person can ignore the message or revise the salary to fall within the valid range.

The assignment grade in the grade rate attached to the salary basis defines the minimum and maximum grade range values. You can adjust the base ranges by linking a differential profile to the salary basis. Differentials apply according to one of these criteria:

• Location
• Business unit
• Location and business unit
• Compensation zone
• Compensation zone and business unit

You can also associate grade rate differentials that override the grade rate, and thus the grades and grade ranges, associated with the salary basis. The grade rate from the differential profile needs to have corresponding grades for all the grades of the grade rate linked to the salary basis.
