Steps: Set Up Eligible Earnings Overrides for Bonuses

Steps: Set Up Eligible Earnings Overrides for Bonuses

Define your bonus plans and related compensation structure.
Define eligible earnings when you want to use a specific value as an employee's estimated earnings to calculate their percent of salary-based bonuses. Eligible earnings overrides can only be used in compensation review processes that include bonus awards.
  1. In the
    Create Eligible Earnings Override Period
     task, define the eligible earnings period.
    Security:
    Set Up: Merit and Bonus
     domain in the Advanced Compensation functional area.
  2. To use eligible earnings as the basis for calculating bonuses, select
    Eligible Earnings Override
     as the compensation basis.
  3. Define the eligible earnings for the employee, including the amount, the applicable period, and the applicable bonus plans.
  4. (Optional) Before running the compensation review process, view the
    Employees without Eligible Earnings Override
     report.
    Ensure that you defined eligible earnings for all employees assigned to the bonus plan who should be receiving the bonus. To define eligible earnings, select
    Compensation
    Create Eligible Earnings Override
     from the worker's related action menu.
  5. To calculate bonuses based on the eligible earnings, run the process for the bonus plan and eligible earnings period.
