Proposing Compensation Changes

Proposing Compensation Changes

After an HR or People Operations leader completes the Merit Cycle Set-Up, OpenComp sends Budget Owners an email notification advising them to begin proposing compensation changes for their designated employees. This article details the steps that Budget Owners go through to propose the compensation changes.

1. As a budget owner, to begin the merit cycle, click "Edit proposal". The employees distributed to a budget owner remain in "view only" mode until the budget owner clicks "Edit proposal".

2. Customize the grid of your employees. (Optional)

3. Click into an employee's row to open that individual's merit raise input page.

4. Input the employee's salary change. To accomplish this, either move the dotted green slider or input the value. Budget owners are also able to make other changes, such as designating a role and/or level change.

Once Budget Owners complete this process for all their employees, they may submit their merit proposals for approval.

5. Again, once Budget Owners complete this process for all their employees, they may submit their merit proposals for approval. Budget Owners are encouraged to provide a note that details their methodology for their proposed merit increases.

When a Budget Owner clicks "Finish & submit", OpenComp routes the proposal to the Approver.

When Budget Owners submit their proposed compensation changes, OpenComp will route the proposal to the Approver.
