In this step, you define the attributes of a compensation review item by going through the sections mentioned below. Note that the date fields are not required if you have set the Spot Review indicator for a compensation review.

  • Default effective date
    Specify either a fixed or an anniversary date - which can be changed later in Manager Self-Service - for a compensation review item. If the default effective date is an anniversary date, the effective date period begin and end dates are required. The system checks whether infotype Date Specifications (0041) contains a record with date type Anniversary Date as of the period begin date. If not available, the period begin date is used as the default effective date, otherwise the earliest anniversary date within the effective date period is used. If, however, the effective date period does not include any anniversary dates, the default effective date is taken into account.
  • Evaluation of eligibility
    Specify either a key date or an evaluation period to determine an employee's eligibility. For example, if you have set the eligibility date to 01.01.2003 for the 2003 salary review, employees hired after this date are excluded from the review. Note that key dates are required for non-spot reviews for micro eligibility purposes, evaluation periods for macro eligibility purposes and proration. If you have not specified any period dates, the key date is used instead.
    Additionally, you can specify a threshold period, that is, the minimum time period an employee needs to be consecutively assigned to a compensation program containing the plan in order to be eligible for it. If you fill this field, the system checks whether the longest consecutive assignment is at least as long as the threshold period you have specified. Note that you cannot fulfil the threshold criterion by adding non-consecutive time intervals that are individually shorter than the threshold period. If you leave this field empty, the employee will be eligible as soon as he/she belongs to a compensation program containing the plan for at least one day during the evaluation period.
  • Guideline key date
    • Specify a key date for applying guidelines if the guideline key date is a fixed date.
    • If the guideline key date is the effective date, leave the Guideline Key Date field empty and select the corresponding option.
    • If the guideline key date is the program period date, leave the Guideline Key Date field empty and select the corresponding option. The guideline will be evaluated for each program period interval separately, prorated and added up. For this purpose, the end date of the program period interval is used as a key date.
  • Other key dates
    • Specify the key date for evaluating the calculation base of a salary. For example, you may want to set the key date on 01.02.2003 to evaluate the period from 01.02.2002 to 31.01.2003 (key date minus one day). If empty, the effective date is used.
    • Specify a key date for all currency conversions that may occur during the compensation process, so that the correct rate is retrieved from the Treasury table Currency Exchange Rates (TCURR).
  • Processing and activation parameters
    • Specify which budget should be used for the compensation plan. This field is optional. If left empty, no specific budget is used for this compensation plan.
    • Specify the reason for change to be displayed for the record that is created or updated on activation in infotype Basic Pay (0008), Additional Payments (0015) or Additional Off-Cycle Payments (0267).
    • Specify the time unit to be used as the reference frequency for the calculation base salary and period-based salary adjustments. Usually, you plan salary increases once a year, but in inflation-torn countries, you may have to perform this task on a more regular basis due to depreciation.
      For hourly paid workers, adjustments are performed on an hourly basis. The amount is first converted according to the time unit you have specified here, then subtracted from the budget.
  • Types of check messages
    Detect inconsistencies and tell the system how to react when:
    • The allocated budget has been exceeded.
    • The specified amount is below or above the minimum and maximum amounts set in the guidelines.
    • The employee is inactive on the effective date of the compensation process.
