Allocation Methods in Workforce Compensation Models

Use models to calculate budget or compensation amounts and target amounts or ranges for a group of people. The allocation method used determines the values you can enter in the model and how the model calculates and applies the results.

The available allocation methods depend on the setup of the workforce compensation plan. Here's a comprehensive list of the allocation methods:

Model Allocation Method	Examples
Bring people up to a specific compa-ratio or quartile	Bring your people in the US whose compa-ratio is less than 80 to a compa-ratio of 100. Bring your people in the UK Operations department to the third quartile.
Supply a numeric or text value to a user-defined column	Rename user-defined numeric column 16 to Corporate Modifier. For your people with a target of 80% or more who are in the US display 02. For those in Canada, display 05. Rename user-defined text column 1 to Sanity Check. For your people whose performance rating is high and compa-ratio is less than 90, display Verify Salary.
Supply a target range or percentage	Give a target bonus range of 3,000 to 5,000 USD to everyone in the US whose job title is Analyst and grade is 3.
Allocate the budget or compensation by a specified amount or percentage	Allocate a bonus of 5,000 GBP to your people in the UK who have an outstanding performance rating. Allocate a bonus of 2,500 USD to your people in the US who have an average performance rating.
Increase the budget or compensation by a specified amount or percentage	Give everyone in France an additional 1% of eligible salary on top of their allocated compensation. Tip: To decrease a budget, enter a negative number or percentage.
