Contents of the Manage Performance Ratings By Plan Screen

Use the fields and options to configure the Manage Performance Ratings by Plan screen.

Compensation Plan

Enter, or click to select, the name of the Compensation plan in this field.

Field Description
Auto Load

The Auto Load button automatically loads this table with a selected compensation plan.

To load the table, complete the following steps:

  1. Click Auto Load. A lookup table appears on the screen.
  2. Select the Comp. Plan code to load, and then click Select. A new dialog box appears, and the selected plan code displays in the Enter Compensation Plan field.
  3. Click OK to load this plan

If the plan is a Step plan (that is, plans which have a plan type of Step on the Manage Compensation Plans screen), then you will receive an error message. You must select a new plan code that is a Grade or Quartile type of plan. The data that is associated with the selected compensation plan code loads automatically, and you can then edit it in the main screen table window.

The Auto Load process generates a line for each plan, for each quadrant within a plan, and for each rating within a quadrant. If you selected a rating increment in the Rating Increment group box, those increments are included in this table.

Rating Increment

Use this group box to create increments between performance ratings for this screen. For example, your ratings may be "4.0" and "3.0," but an employee may receive a rating of "3.5." If your choice was One-Half, the table fills with "4.0," "3.5," and "3.0" ratings for each quadrant. This field is used only for the Auto Load feature.
