Defining flat amounts based on factors

Note: 

Lump sum rules are ignored if a salary structure is not on the work assignment.

  1. Select Compensation > Set Up > Compensation Planning > Planning Rules.
  2. Open the planning rule.
  3. On the Lump Sum Payment Rules tab, right click and select Create Flat Amount Based on a Factor Rule.
    Note: The Lump Sum Payment Rules tab is displayed only if you select the Allow Lump Sum Payments check box on the Options tab.
  4. Specify this information:
    Eligibility Group
    Select an eligibility group for the lump sum payment.
    Factor Type
    Select whether the lump sum is based on a performance rating or a salary structure grade.
    Percent of Salary Range Threshold
    Specify the percentage for the salary range threshold.

    The lump sum is created when the resource's new base rate of pay exceeds the salary structure maximum at this percentage. For example, if the salary structure maximum is 100,000 and the threshold is 90%, a lump sum is created when the resource's new rate exceeds 90,000.
