Include in Grade Step Progression Attribute and Grade Step Progression Processing

Use the Include in Grade Step Progression attribute on the assignment to include or exclude an assignment from the Run Grade Step Progression process. Also use this attribute to exclude assignments from the Synchronize Grade Step Rates process.

The attribute works with the Exclude assignment from synchronize rate process if excluded from grade step progression process setting. To update this setting, go to My Client Groups > Compensation > Grade Step Progressions Settings.

Here's what happens if you select the Exclude assignment from synchronize rate process if excluded from grade step progression process setting.

• If the Include in Grade Step Progression assignment attribute is Y, both processes include the assignment.
• If the Include in Grade Step Progression assignment attribute is N, both processes exclude the assignment.

Here's what happens if you deselect the Exclude assignment from synchronize rate process if excluded from grade step progression process setting.

• If the Include in Grade Step Progression assignment attribute is Y, both processes include the assignment.
• If the Include in Grade Step Progression assignment attribute is N, the Run Grade Step Progression process excludes the assignment. And the Synchronize Grade Step Rates process includes it.

To update the assignment attribute using HCM Data Loader or HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader, select the GspEligibilityFlag attribute.

• Valid values are Y and N.
• The Grade Step Progression process interprets any value other than N as Y.

The Review page Error tab lists excluded assignments along with an informational message indicating that the process didn't include the assignment.

There are more filtering options on the Run Grade Step Progression page. They let you include assignments based on legal employer, business unit, location, department, or payroll. Both processes include an option to run for an individual person or using a person selection formula.
