Fundamental to the Salary Review Management System is the determination of the Authorisation hierarchy.

This will initially be a four layer model of : 

• Approving Designate
  • Authorising Designate
    • Reviewing Designate
      • Review Group
        • Reviewed Employee

Using Review Groups allows for an extremely flexible Review Process as the CPM Central^©  is not linked to any specific Organisational Chart or tree structure.  Effectively a Review Group is a discrete entity to which a collection of Employees are associated.  From there each Review Group has a Reviewer who is responsible for performing the actual Review. A Reviewing Designate may be responsible for reviewing multiple Review Groups.  This may occur where the Authorisation path may be different for each of the Review Groups to be reviewed by a specific Reviewing Designate.

Authorising Designate are also linked directly to the Review Group for the purpose of authorising the recommendations made by the Reviewing Designate.  A number of Reviewing Designates may be the responsibility of an Authorising Designate for confirmation.

The Approving Designate who again is also directly linked to the Review Group, and is the final approving layer which may be responsible for approving a number of Authorising Designates.

The relationships between all the layers is Review Group Related with a each Review Group having a nominated Reviewing Designate Role, Authorising Designate Role and Approving Designate Role. With most HR/Payroll Systems using Position Relationship Trees to establish reporting lines, it will be more than likely the Review Group will relate to a Position Code/Entity.

When performing the actual Employee Review a Remuneration Summary Statement Form is displayed.  It is through this form that recommended increases are made.  These can be as either a % Increase or a specified Salary.  There is also the facility to enter a Lump Sum or One Off Payment.  The Lump Sum Payment may or may not be included in the Review Summary Totals.

The key focus of the CPM Central^©  is to :

Provide a standard method performing the Salary Review Process

• Be simple to use by the end user
• Expedite the Salary Review through on-line access
• Enable on-line tracking of the Review Process

Flexible Configuration

CPM Central^©  Salary Review Management (CPM) System has numerous configuration options which can be implemented through the System on Configuration Module.  It allows for alternative Configurations and Terminologies to used for each Parent Entity in the System.

Some of the configuration options are determining whether the Review will :-

• Set and track the Budget by Salary,  Remuneration, Salary and One Off Payments or Remuneration and One Off Payments
• Apply the recommended %age increase against the Base Salary or against the Total Fixed Remuneration . When %age increases are applied against the Total Fixed Remuneration, the Package is 'unbundled' and all %age derived Package components, such as Superannuation, are all dynamically recalculated to ensure the %age increase entered is preserved.
• Determine whether the Policy Line comparison (%age against Mid Point) is against Base Salary or Total Fixed Remuneration

There is also the ability to build a Recommended Increase Matrix based on Performance results in combination with an Employee's current position against Policy Mid Point.  Each Employee can be specified as to whether they use a Matrix derived increase or whether it is at the Reviewers discretion.  Even where a recommended increase is derived from a Matrix, the Reviewer still has the option of overriding.

Whether Policy Line data is used or not is also configurable, along with whether One Off Payments can be entered during the Review.

Each user can be specified as to whether they have the ability to perform In-Line creases or not, and whether they have the ability to use global increase modeling.

Draw on information held within existing HRIS systems

The CPM Central^©  Salary Review Management (CPM) System has Database Management Module which allows for almost all key tables to be imported directly into the system from external sources.

Standard Import Templates are available which can be populated and then imported directly into the system.  Each Table can be imported as either an Update, to update existing records and add new records, or as a total Table Replacement.

Information that can be imported are Employee Details, Salary Data, Allowance and Superannuation data, Policy Lines, Benchmark Roles, Reviewers and Review Groups.
