Hike Push Sanction

Hike push sanction allows the salary hike pushed from performance to be reflected in compensation only after it is sanctioned in compensation. This process helps validate the salary details and check for any discrepancies before they are viewed by employees. If it is not enabled, the salary hike pushed by performance will automatically be reflected in compensation and be viewed by employees. 

The hike push sanction process acts as a checkpoint before the salary hike information is revealed to the employees. This process is also used during payroll processing. This is done by sending all push hikes to be validated and sanctioned by the compensation administrators. 

To perform a hike push sanction, go to Operations Compensation Hike Push Sanction
Alert
Salary hike must first be pushed to the compensation service from Performance Service 
Let us look at how the process flows:
Once salary hikes are completed in performance, the next step will be to push the salary hikes to compensation. To view the salary hike status in performance, click on the corresponding appraisal cycle name in the list view. (Operations > Performance > Appraisal > Select a cycle > View Cycle Status > Push to Compensation)

Click View Hike Status for a detailed view of each employee's status.



Once all salary hikes have been pushed, click Push to Compensation
If hike sanction is enabled in compensation, all pushed salary hikes will be listed under the Hike Push Sanction tab (within Operations > Compensation), where the compensation administrator can check each salary hike that has been pushed from performance. Once they are satisfied, the hike push will be sanctioned. In case of any discrepancies, the hike push will not be sanctioned, in which case it will need to be revisited and checked for any errors.



Info
If hike sanction has been disabled in compensation, all salary hikes will be pushed directly and will be reflected in compensation.
