Sync Individual Compensation Plan Dates with the Start Date in a Pending Worker Action

You can sync the payment start and end dates of individual compensation plans included in a pending worker action, with the start date.

Do this by setting the payment start and end dates of the individual compensation plans to Projected Hire, Start, or Submission Date. The plan payment dates adjust automatically whenever people change the start date in the Edit Pending Worker action and go to the individual compensation section.

For example, you've a pending worker with a start date of January 1, 2022. The details include an individual compensation plan with payments that start the same day. Later you revise the start date to February 1, 2022. When you get to the individual compensation section, the existing payment start date automatically adjusts to February 1, 2022, to align with the new start date.

The plan payment dates won't adjust if people change the start date and don't visit the individual compensation section. They won't automatically adjust in these situations either:

  • When people change the start date in other flows, such as Employment details, Change Employment Start Dates, and Change Work Relationship Start Date
  • On any other pages where people can change the start date of the pending worker.
  • When people use HCM Data Loader or REST services

People need to manually delete and readd the individual compensation plans in all such scenarios.

When someone end dates the individual compensation row in the pending worker flow, the flow carries the end date forward to the conversion stage.

Delay Payment

You can optionally delay the payment dates by a specific number of days, months, years, or combination. The pending worker flow calculates the payment start and end dates using the start date and the specified delay. For example, your details include paying a signon bonus 1 month after the start date. Since your current start date is February 1, 2022, the payment start date of the bonus allocation is March 1, 2022.

Override the Payment Date

You can let people override the calculated payment start date, end date, or both when they include the plan in the individual compensation section. When they do override the payment dates, the start date and the payment dates can't automatically sync anymore. They need to delete the individual compensation plan and add it again every time they change the start date. They can't correct the existing payment dates.

Pending worker flows identify overridden plan dates with (Set manually).
