Salary Planning, Salary Review & Merit Increase (HCM) ​

This page documents three shipped Compensation screens (hcm-compensation) covering the core process of changing what someone earns, each tied to a Compensation Cycle. Not for plugin developers.

Salary Planning ​

Propose a salary change: pick the Employee and the Compensation Cycle it belongs to, set the Increase Type, and enter the Manager Increase %. The screen shows you the employee's current salary range (Min/Mid/Max) alongside what you're proposing, and calculates the Final Increase % and resulting new salary/compa-ratio for you — you don't have to do that math yourself. Set an Effective Date for when it should take effect.

The KPI row (Total Entries, Draft, Approved, Finalized) tells you at a glance how much of your planning is actually done vs. still in draft.

Salary Review ​

The formal review process. Pick the Employee, Compensation Cycle, and Review Type, and enter a Recommended % increase along with a written Justification — this isn't optional busywork, it's what your approvers see when deciding whether to approve the increase. This goes through a real multi-stage approval chain, tracked via the KPI row (Total Reviews, Submitted, Approved, Finalized).

Merit Increase ​

A merit-based increase tied to the employee's actual Performance Rating. Enter the Manager % you're proposing and, if your tenant uses one, the Matrix Recommendation % (a suggested percentage based on rating + position in range) for comparison — plus a Justification. Goes through its own two-stage approval, tracked via KPIs (Total Merit Increases, Submitted, Approved, Finalized).
