Process Increments – A summary of the activity

Through this activity, you can process the increment for all the eligible employees under an organization unit.

Increment Set ID: At the outset, you are to specify the ID of the increment set that you are requesting the system to process. The system will retrieve all the details of this increment set.

Parameters: You are to now specify either of the following parameters:

• The month for which the system must process employees who are eligible; this is applicable for anniversary-based increments, or

• The date from which the increment must become effective; this is applicable for adhoc increments.

You are to save these parameters.

Session ID: After you specified the parameters, the system checks whether all the prerequisite conditions required for processing are satisfied. If they are satisfied, the system generates a Session ID. The generation of the session ID indicates that the employee records are ready for the processing of the increment set.

The session ID uniquely identifies the increment set processing that a system carries out on a set of records This unique ID is necessary when more than one instance of increment set processing is being carried out simultaneously. The system will now carry out processing, based on these parameters you specified.

Processing: During processing, the system executes the following:

• Identifies all the employees who are eligible for the increment set. See Full picture of increment eligibility

• Computes the increment amount  for which each employee is entitled. This will depend on the increment type.

• Finds out the date on which the increment will be effective, for each employee. This date will depend on the increment pattern.

Status The status of the processing will be set to “Initiated”.

Prerequisites

The increment set must be defined in the “Define Increment Set” activity.

The parameters for increment processing must be set, in the “Set Increment Parameters” activity.

What you can do in this activity

Process an increment set

Processing an increment set

• Use the “Process Increment” page to request the system to process the increment set

• Specify the parameters and select the “Process” pushbutton

Anniversary-based and adhoc

The increment pattern can be either anniversary-based or adhoc.

Anniversary-based: If the employees have completed one year on the "Increment Month", the system refers to the “Monetary Benefit Date” defined already in the “Set Increment Parameters” activity. For example, if the “Increment Month” is April and the “Monetary Benefit Date” is the 15^th day of the month, the effective date of the increment will be 15^th of April.  

Adhoc: The “Increment Effective From Date” in the “Process Increments” page will be the date on which the increment will be effective for the employees.
