Salary Adjustment Type and Salary Amounts in 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 for the progression grade ladder. You can configure the calculations to use FTE or Adjusted FTE when prorating the salary amount. Use the ORA_CMP_USE_AFTE_INSTEAD_FTE profile option and set the site-level profile value.

  • If the profile option value is No, the calculations use FTE from the assignment.
  • If the profile option value is Yes, the calculations use the Adjusted FTE value from the assignment. If the Adjusted FTE is NULL or 0, FTE from the assignment is used instead.

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 or Adjusted FTE.

  • If the calculations use FTE, here's what happens for each salary adjustment type:

    • FTE less than 1 only: The processes adjust the salary amount only when FTE is less than 1.
    • FTE not equal to 1: The processes adjust the salary amount only when FTE doesn't equal 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 and don't adjust salaries.

  • If the calculations use Adjusted FTE, here's what happens for each salary adjustment type:
    • FTE less than 1 only: The processes adjust the salary amount only when Adjusted FTE is less than 1.
    • FTE not equal to 1: The processes adjust the salary amount only when Adjusted FTE doesn't equal 1. For example, if the Adjusted FTE is .75 or 1.25, the processes adjust the salary.

    If Adjusted FTE equals is 1, the processes ignore the salary adjustment type and don't adjust salaries.

Here's how the processes adjust the salary when the salary amount is determined by simple components:

  • If the calculations use FTE, the processes always adjust the salary amount by the FTE, even if Salary Adjustment Type is blank.
  • If the calculations use Adjusted FTE, the processes always adjust the salary amount by the adjusted FTE, even if Salary Adjustment Type is blank.
