Variable pay proration for employees hired before April of the plan year

[vinkamath]

Hi all,

Is it possible in Variable Pay to calculation proration from 1st of January for employees hired before 1st of April of the bonus plan year (they need to get the credit for full year). Bonus start date is 1st of Jan and end date is 31st of December.

As per my understanding, this is not possible. Have any of you come across such a situation and solved the same. 

@xavierlegarrec kindly share any recommendation for this scenario.

Hi @vinkamath 

In standard it is not possible but with a bit configuration it will definitely work.

Here is what I built for a different customer requirement that can help you get started :

Thanks @xavierlegarrec. I will check the link and recording.

Hi @xavierlegarrec, I saw the above blog and recording which talks about excluding records for cases rehired during the year. Very clever solution. The scenario which I had question was with respect to considering 100% proration for anyone who is eligible for bonus and hired between 1st Jan and 31st March. I cannot use ALCF as two business goal sections are needed in the solution..

Hi @vinkamath, I was hoping you would understand the recommended path from the design I shared because it is essentially the same. Here are the steps (I don't have time to build it for you unfortunately here):

1. Create a non-effective dated MDF
2. Add two fields : one called "EC Hire Date", the other called "Hire Date overwrite"
3. Build an On Save business rule with the following logic : If EC Hire Date is before 4/1 of current year, then set "Hire Date Overwrite" to 1/1 of current year, otherwise populate it with "EC Hire Date" (Note: not sure if the current year is the best approach, maybe from a maintenance perspective documenting how customers need to edit the year before running the process each year would work better).
4. Run an Integration center just like in my example to feed the MDF with data
5. Integrate your MDF object to Variable Pay employee history main record rule just like I did in the blog.
