Once you've created a salary schedule and added the grades & steps to it, you must run the Apply Salary Schedules function to cause AptaFund to calculate the appropriate salary amounts for each step within each grade of the schedule. You can then use the salary schedule to automatically calculate pay when you assign jobs to employees.
You'll also need to use the Apply Salary Schedules function after you've edited an active salary schedule. This action will update the salary amounts for each step within each grade of the schedule.
There are two other apply schedule functions for use in specific situations.
Use Mass Increment Salary Schedule Step and Apply Schedule if you want to increment the employees' salary schedule step AND apply a new salary schedule all at once.
Use Mass Increment Salary Schedule Grade and Apply Schedule if you want to increment the employees' salary schedule grade AND apply a new salary schedule all at once.
When you run Apply Salary Schedule after editing the schedule, AptaFund copies the data in the Proposed Base Pay, Proposed Rounding Criteria, and either Proposed Multiplier or Proposed Amount fields into the Base Pay, Rounding Criteria, and either the Multiplier or Amount fields. It then re-calculates the salary amounts for each step within each grade of the schedule. It also makes retroactive pay available, if necessary.
For each active employee with an enabled job, the following steps are performed by the system:
The payroll system will remove the employee from payroll.
The job will be closed.
The job salary, hourly, or daily rate will be updated. If the employee is salaried, the new salary will equal the salary indicated by the payroll period less any retroactive pay.
The job will be automatically approved.
The job will be submitted to payroll.
