Enroll employees in compensation plans

Completed

You can now assign an employee to one or more compensation plans in Dynamics 365 Human Resources. The Compensation plans field for an employee record shows only the plans that an employee is eligible for under the eligibility rules that were set up for each plan. If eligibility rules aren't set up for a plan, no employees will be eligible for that plan.

The system verifies that the compensation amount that is specified for a compensation plan of the Grade or Band type is within the minimum and maximum reference points for the given compensation level on the employee's job. If the compensation amount is outside the allowed range, a warning or error message will display, depending on the tolerance level that is set on the compensation plan.
