FTE Adjustments for Salary Amounts Determined by User

HR actions prorate the salary amount for FTE changes according to the salary adjustment type set for the grade ladder, when the salary basis type is salary amount determined by user.

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 what happens for each Salary Adjustment Type option if the calculations use FTE:

• FTE less than 1 only: HR actions adjust the salary amount only when FTE is less than 1.
• FTE not equal to 1: HR actions adjust the salary amount only when FTE is less than or greater than 1.
• blank: HR actions don't adjust the salary amount.

When FTE is 1, HR actions ignore the salary adjustment type and don't adjust the salary amount.

Here's what happens for each Salary Adjustment Type option if the calculations use Adjusted FTE:

• FTE less than 1 only: HR actions adjust the salary amount only when Adjusted FTE is less than 1.
• FTE not equal to 1: HR actions adjust the salary amount only when Adjusted FTE is less than or greater than 1.
• blank: HR actions don't adjust the salary amount.

When Adjusted FTE is 1, HR actions ignore the salary adjustment type and don't adjust the salary amount.

HR actions adjust the salary amount even when people don't change the grade and step, such as in Change Working Hours. But if you deselect Update salary if proposed salary is less than current salary, any HR action that would result in a lower salary can't default the lower amount. But people can still manually adjust the amount lower.
