How do I adjust wages to something outside of the Wage Schedule?
Tenure wage calculations are tied directly to the Step amounts set in the Wage Schedule. This is expected functionality due to the strict nature of the auto-advance calculations.
Merit wages are easily manipulated in the Positions tab under Employees and the Employee Detail Pages.
3 general options for wage adjustments
- Wage Schedule - From the Data Model Manager, select the Wage Schedule tab and edit your desired wage schedule. Filter and multi-select multiple employees at once, and select the Wage Increase button to apply a percent adjustment or dollar adjustment wage increase to those bulk-selected employees.
- Employee Detail Page - If the employee is under a merit wage schedule, then you can adjust their Annual Salary in the Employee Detail Page.
- Wages tab of Scenario - Drill down to Unit level, Department Level, or Employee Level, and apply a permanent or one-time adjustment to wages. COLA is typically entered here as a permanent adjustment.
What does it mean if an Employee has a “blended rate”?
If an Employee's wages are being split between 2 or more steps in one year, then the Employee Detail page will show a message in red text that says the Employee's salary consists of a blended rate calculation. This is a standard calculation and should be expected if a tenured Employee receives a step increase mid-year.
