This is expected behavior from the system.

The merit amount is based in the following calculation:

Merit amount = Merit % * Field in which merit is based.

For example:

"If you have a current salary of USD 100 and a merit amount equal to USD 10, then you have Merit % equal to 10%.

If that salary is changed to USD 200 and you have merit amount equal to USD 100, then you will have a new merit % equal to 5%."

The system updates automatically the merit % in order to keep the same value in the merit amount.
