Basic Process to Manage Grade Step Progression

To move people automatically from one grade, or grade and step, to the next level in a grade ladder, you can use grade step progression. Here's the basic process for managing the progression.

1. Optionally, create progression grade ladder groups using the ORA_CMP_GSP_GRADE_LADDER_GRP lookup. You can associate progression grade ladders with a group.
2. Create the progression grade ladder.
   1. Configure the ladder and salary update details.
   2. Add grades and steps.
   3. Add progression rules at the ladder, grade, and step level.
      You can also create and update progression grade ladders, with and without steps, using HCM Data Loader. Guidelines and examples for how to do this are in the HCM Data Loading Business Objects guide, Loading Compensation Objects chapter. You can also see Using HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader to Add Progression Attributes to Grade Ladders (document ID 2569831.1).
3. Configure and submit the Run Grade Step Progression process to run according to your policies, such as daily, weekly, or monthly. You can configure the process to run for a single ladder or a group of ladders.
4. Review and accept or reject the progression process results. If you configured the process to automatically confirm progressions, then you won't need to accept them.

5. Update progression grade ladder rates as appropriate, such as for new contracts.
6. Configure and submit the Synchronize Grade Step Rates process to run for a single ladder or a group of ladders.
7. Review and accept or reject the sync process results. If you configured the process to automatically confirm synchronizations, then you won't need to accept them.
