2078095 - Manage Data - Employee History Unique fields by Program - Variable Pay

Symptom

  • How to Set Unique Employee History fields by Program

    Different Variable Pay programs often have differing eligibility rules, calculations and incentive program variables (e.g. earnings versus YE salary).  This information is defined in the Employee History Data file and defined specifically for each customer in the data model (background-element id=varPayEmpHistData).  The Employee Detail section of the VP manager form includes these customer defined fields to help end users audit, verify and understand specific VarPay program participation and calculations. 

Environment

  • Variable Pay

Resolution

  • As of B1107 Customers can now define different employee history fields in the data model for different Variable Pay programs
    JIRA #: VRP-1818
     
  • The VP employee history fields are defined in the data model. All Var Pay programs prior to B1107 used only one VP data section in the data model and all VP employee history fields applied to all VP programs in a customer's instance. Most customers have more than one VP program and eligibility for these different programs is typically determined by different employee history fields.

New Behavior:  

  • You can differentiate which Employee history fields display for which Variable Pay program.  

Configuration Steps:  

  • This is an opt-in change requiring modification to the Form Template XML and Data Model XML. Please contact SuccessFactors Customer Success to review and configure this change.
