Variable Pay - Not pulling in records for EEs who are eligible for bonus for part of the year

[DnC5]

Hi There,

We have finished our Variable Pay cycle for the year.  We encountered an issue where a group of employees who are eligible for a bonus did not receive one at the end of the process. Basically, these employees were in a bonus eligible pay grade earlier in the year, and moved to a non-bonus eligible pay grade later in the year.  These employees should receive a prorated bonus for the part of the year that they were in a bonus eligible pay grade.  Since these employees did not receive a bonus at the end of the process, we had to manually issue a bonus to these employees.  We use Employee Central and Business Rules for our Variable Pay process.

Just wondering if any other organizations have encountered this scenario?  What kind of set up did you do to get around this?  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Danny

I would suggest reviewing your business rules - there is either an issue with the rule to pull in your employee history (did these employees get their history pulled in or are they missing) or if you are using a global rule you may have written it such that the employee is only eligible if they are in a valid plan on the date specified in the global rule which doesn't align with your business requirements.

What you are requesting is definitely possible and typical when employees may retire before the end of year and still receive a bonus or as mentioned were only eligible for a partial year.
