Configure Job Offers with Delayed Compensation

You can configure job offers with individual compensation plans allocated on the projected start date or after a delay.

You can promise individual compensation plans to the candidate on the same day that their new assignment begins, or a certain number of days or weeks after that.

You can synchronize individual compensation plan start and end dates with the projected hire date defined in the offer. Then whenever recruiters change the projected hire date in the offer and then go to the individual compensation section, the plan dates will adjust automatically. For example, the projected start date of an offer is January 1, 2022 and the plan allocation starts the same day. Later the projected hire date changes to February 1, 2022. When you get to the individual compensation section, the existing plan start date adjusts to February 1, 2022, to align with the new projected hire date.

Alternatively, you can set a delay. When the offer is drafted, the plan start and end dates are automatically set using the projected hire date and the specified delay. For example, an offer includes a sign-on bonus to start 1 month after the projected hire date. Since the current projected hire date is February 1, 2022, the start date of the bonus plan is set to March 1, 2022 after you go to the individual compensation section.

You can let recruiters override the calculated plan start date, end date, or both when they include the plan in their draft offers. But when the recruiter overrides the dates, the synchronization can no longer happen automatically and they have to manually intervene for every change in the projected start date. Their intervention involves deleting the awarded individual compensation and adding it again, not correcting the dates of the existing plan.
