Step Task

Release centrally managed and stored compensation change statements to managers and then individuals.

Reduce transfer errors for changes to the workforce compensation plans by refreshing workforce compensation data before transferring changes to HR. You should also refresh data if you let salary changes happen outside the workforce compensation cycle or the HR data had many changes.

Transfer workforce compensation data to HR. You can transfer data by compensation type, such as elements, salary, stock, performance ratings, and promotion. You can also use different HR actions with each transfer and transfer data for specific populations using inclusion criteria.

Tip: Changes that you make to an individual's HR data using the Administer Workers task apply to only that assignment, plan, and cycle. They don't transfer back to HR. To make the changes permanent, you need to change the data in Global Human Resources.
