Non-Scheduled Increases Page

Use this page to add, change, delete, and display increase records for job classes that use non-scheduled pay methods (Hourly, Daily, and Per Period).

In the Non-Scheduled Increases, you can:

• Assign increases to active pay rates based on employees' job classes. The increases apply to primary and secondary rates for all employees in the classes affected.
• Apply increases to terminated and inactive rates, as an option.
• Enter increases as dollar amounts, percentages, or a combination of the two. When both types of increases are applied, the system calculates the percentage first and then adds the amount.

Following is the formula for calculating new rates:

New Pay Rate = Current Pay Rate + (Current Pay Rate x Increase Percent) + Increase Amount

After creating increase records, you can use the Non-Scheduled Increases page's Projections item to simulate their effects. If the increases calculate properly, you can apply the increases to employees' pay rates using the page's Increases item.

Delete any unnecessary increase records from previous years before entering increases for the new year. Otherwise, the older records will be applied when you run the Projections and Increases options.

Add an Increase Record

1. On the Non-Scheduled Increases page, click Add New.

2. In the Non-Scheduled Increase Info section, complete the following fields:

   Class	Code identifying a job class in Human Resources. You can only access classes that have the following pay methods: H: Hourly D: Daily P: Per Period Job classes with salary schedule methods – S - Range/Step Rate and R - Range/Step Pay Period – are not accepted.
   Increase Amount	Increase amount to add to pay rates for the job class specified. To enter the correct dollar amount, you must know whether a rate's pay method is hourly, daily, or per pay period. To determine a rate's pay method, see the Verifying Pay Methods, Rates, and Projections section in Non-Scheduled Employee Pay Rates. To apply a decrease to a job class, use a negative number. For example, 1.20 reduces an hourly rate by $1.20.
   Increase Percent	Increase percentage, entered as a decimal (0.03 = 3%). If you use an amount and percentage, the system calculates the percentage increase first, and then adds the amount.
