How the Salary Adjustment Type Affects Salary Amounts for Proposed Progression and Salary Updates

When you view the processing results of grade step progression for a specific person, you can see the current and proposed full-time salary amounts.

• The full-time salary amounts help you decide whether to approve the proposed progression or salary update. You can compare the current full-time salary with grade ladder rates. The full-time salary might correspond to the grade ladder rate for the current step. But, it might be different if the process overrode the salary record. The proposed full-time salary is the grade ladder rate for the proposed step, before getting prorated for FTE value.
• The salary amounts are the amounts stored in the salary record. The current salary is the actual stored amount. The proposed salary becomes the stored amount. The proposed salary includes proration by FTE and rounding, if applicable.

FTE Proration and Salary Adjustment Type

The grade step progression processes prorate salary amounts by FTE according to the Salary Adjustment Type setting of the progression grade ladder.

• Here's how the processes adjust the salary when the salary amount is determined by users:

  • If you leave Salary Adjustment Type blank, the processes don't adjust the proposed salary amounts for FTE.
  • If you set Salary Adjustment Type to FTE less than 1 only, the processes adjust the salary if the FTE is less than 1. They don't adjust salaries where the FTE is greater than 1.
  • If you set Salary Adjustment Type to FTE not equal to 1, the processes adjust the salary if the FTE isn't equal to 1. For example, if the FTE is .75 or 1.25, the processes adjust the salary.
  • If FTE is 1, the processes ignore the Salary Adjustment Type setting and don't adjust salaries.
• When the salary amount is determined by simple components, the processes always adjust the salary amount by the FTE, even you leave the field blank.
