We have made improvements on the process when pay increments and negotiating body uplifts are made for the same effective date, even though they may be processed at different times of the year depending on the state of the salary change and if it has been approved or not.
The changes are as below:
Negotiating body uplifts with Override Approval selected will now supersede already-approved salary records for the same effective date.
For staff members whose pay increment has not yet been approved, a negotiating body uplift that overrides approval will update the pending approval increment to the new negotiating body rate. Additionally, it will add a new pre-approved salary line reflecting the uplift for their current scale. This new salary change will be superseded once the increment is approved.
A staff member may have two pending approval records for the same effective date if both their pay increment and negotiating body uplift require approval. In this case, whichever record is approved first will cause the other to be rejected, ensuring only one approved record remains for the effective date.
