Rounding Rules and Salary Amounts in Proposed Progression and Salary Updates

A salary basis might have rounding rules for salary amounts and annualized amounts. If it does, progression processing rounds the calculated salary amount according to that rule when it converts the salary from one frequency to another.

For example, the process rounds the amount when it uses hourly rates from a grade ladder to update a salary with a monthly salary basis.

Progression processing also rounds the annual salary and annualized full-time salary amounts. It calculates and stores the annual amounts during the batch run. You see these annual amounts in the process results only for reference. The process doesn't include the annual amounts on the salary record. The salary record dynamically calculates the annual amounts that you see, so you might occasionally see differences in annual values. For example, the annual amounts are different on the salary page if the rounding rules change after you run the grade step progression process.
