Configure Job Offers with an Other Compensation Section

You can select individual compensation plans to be awarded to candidates as part of their job offers.

By default, the Other Compensation region is shown and you can choose the eligible plans. You can award compensation in addition to salary, such as bonuses, stock, car allowance, or other forms of compensation.

Recruiters can't see a specific plan during the Create and Edit Offer process due to the candidate being not eligible for this plan or option combination, or due to an improper configuration in one of several areas. To identify the improper configuration, check the below areas:

  • Is the individual compensation plan in the state Active? Making the plan visible for the offer team to select in the Offer process might be as simple as checking that the plan is active.

  • Is the plan access configured for the offer's selected action in the When and Why section? Individual compensation plans that grant access only to the actions Create Offer and Edit Offer won't be shown in the offer, because these won't be preserved if and when the candidate moves to pending worker and eventually to worker. Instead, you can configure the plan access to actions such as Add Pending Worker, Transfer, Promotion to make it visible while drafting a relevant offer.

  • Is the candidate eligible for the individual compensation plan's eligibility profile? Based on the offer that has been drafted so far for this candidate, they're currently eligible for certain plans, and possibly not eligible for others. This eligibility is calculated on the information about the offer's assignment, which, for instance, might be in a certain group of the company, and isn't based on any other current or past assignment the candidate might have had. So removing any eligibility profile from the individual compensation plan will remove this restriction and make the plan visible to select while drafting this offer.

  • Is the plan configured to be accessed by the appropriate actions? Some individual compensation plans are intended to be awarded to new hires but not for rehires; others could be reserved for internal mobility processes only. In the configuration for the individual compensation plan, you can decide not to restrict plan access to make the plan visible when drafting offers, or you can configure to use the appropriate actions that will limit those actions only.

  • Is the person eligible for the element itself? To ensure that the plans are available to be selected:

    • Verify that the element and eligibility start dates are far enough in the past to encompass the date when this offer was first drafted.

    • Verify that the candidate's offer is eligible per the element eligibility. It's recommended to define open eligibility at the element level, to remove this restriction.

    • Verify that the element is attached to the legal employer and legislative data group in which this offer is being drafted, and that the element exists in the legislative data group.

    • Verify that the payroll relationship mapping is defined for the following person types: Employee Candidate (Candidate Standard), Contingent Worker Candidate (Candidate Element Entries Only), Pending Employee (Pending Worker Standard).

Note: To view the Other Compensation section in a job offer, make sure that these payroll relationships are added using the Configure Legislations for Human Resources task in the Setup and Maintenance work area.
