How increments behave

• Past or current effective dates apply immediately.
• Future-dated increments remain pending until their effective date.
• Pending increments are automatically activated when eligible.
• Percentage increments calculate from the current salary before the increment.
• Fixed increments add the fixed value to the current salary before the increment.
• Editing or deleting structural increment data recomputes the increment chain.

Validation

• Increment value must be greater than zero.
• Percentage increment value cannot exceed 100%.
• Increments cannot be added to inactive salary profiles.
• Resulting salary cannot exceed the configured maximum value.
