Create a Progression Grade Ladder for Batch Processing
Here's how you create a progression grader ladder to use with the Run Grade Step Progression and Synchronize Grade Step Rate processes. All the tasks you need are in the Compensation work area.
Before you start
Make sure of the following:- The group that you want to associate the ladder with exists. Selecting a group for the ladder is optional, but if needed, add the group to the ORA_CMP_GSP_GRADE_LADDER_GRP lookup using the Lookups task.
- The grades exist. If needed, create them using the Grades task.
- The progression rules exist. If needed, create participant eligibility profiles using the Eligibility Profiles task.
Here's what to do
-
Create the ladder.
-
Add grades.
- On the Grades and Steps tab, Actions menu, select Add Grade.
- On the Add Grade dialog box, search for and select the grade to add. Your Grade Type selection decides which grades that you see in the list--basically, if the grades have steps or not.
- Enter the sequence for where to position the grade on the grade ladder.
- To see any existing steps, expand the grade. The Expand icon isn't present if no steps exist.
- Add a value for each step of the grade.
-
Add rules at the ladder, grade, and step levels.
- Optionally, on the Progression Rules tab, in the Grade Ladder Rules section, add progression rules that apply to the entire grade ladder.
- In the Grade Rules section, add the rule that applies to the grade. If the grades have steps, you might want to add rules at the step level rather than the grade level.
- Optionally, add the progression rule that applies to a specific step.
- Save your changes.
- To add rules to the remaining grades in the ladder, repeat steps 2 through 4.
- When you finish adding rules, save and close the progression grade ladder.
- Validate the progression grade ladder by selecting Validate on the Actions menu. You need to fix any validation errors before your ladder processing of grade step progressions or rate synchronizations can include it.
