Compensation Plan - Proration - Bonus

Proration enables an organization to adjust a user's compensation based on a prorated time period instead of the compensation period. This may be necessary if the employee has not been with the organization, in the position, or in their current salary for the entire compensation period. This may also be necessary if an employee did not receive a compensation adjustment from the prior compensation period. Proration can be based on the employee's Last Hire Date, Last Salary Change Date, or their time in an OU such as Position of Division. Proration can also be based on an employee's time in a specific group. Compensation components can be set to be prorated by the compensation administrator when configuring the compensation component.

The Proration pop-up enables the compensation manager to view recommendations and allocate prorated amounts for each of the prorated periods of a component for a user.

The Proration pop-up is accessed by clicking the Edit icon for a prorated component for a user in which there are multiple prorated periods.

This pop-up can only be accessed when there is a component with multiple prorated periods.

Bonus Proration by % Attained

If the Bonus compensation template is configured to be set as a percentage of the Bonus Target, then the compensation manager can set an employee's bonus as a percentage of the component target.

The pop-up title reflects the component that is being prorated.
