Change in Pay

Purpose

If an employee’s payments change over time, for example through a standard pay increase, you can process the change in basic pay in the system using a Personnel Action.

All of the Infotypes that you have to process when making changes to an employee’s basic pay appear automatically and sequentially in the personnel action type Changes to Pay.

Prerequisites

The Changes to Pay personnel action type groups various logically related infotypes together to form an infotype group. You can use the customizing tool in Personnel Administration to adjust the infotype group to the individual requirements of your company.

Process Flow

When you perform the Changes to Pay personnel action type, you must note the following points:

During the course of carrying out the Change in Pay personnel action, a data record is stored in the Actions (0000) infotype if an employee’s basic pay increases. The date and the reason (standard pay increase, pay scale reclassification, annual increase) for the change in basic pay are stored amongst other things in this infotype.

The employee’s current basic pay changes in the Basic Pay (0008) infotype as well.

Result

You have entered or made all of the necessary changes to the employees’ current payments in the system for all the employees whose pay has changed using the personnel action type Change in Pay.
