Finish the original 2027 pay review, which proposes Avery’s salary at $63,000 from January 1, 2027. The 3% copy remains an alternative and should not be applied to the same assignment.

Review the right proposal

You need permission to manage the plan, apply its selected changes, and manage the affected compensation. Other selected position, staffing, or budget changes require the corresponding record permissions. Application uses administrative authority and requires a reason; it does not create approval requests.

  1. Wait for the original 5% workforce plan to finish calculating.
  2. On Changes, check Avery’s pay change: correct employee, assignment, $63,000 annual salary, January 1 effective date. Pay has no end date.
  3. Check Planned outcome for compensation of $75,600 for the year and unchanged budget of $84,000.
  4. Choose Review & apply on Avery’s salary change. For several independent changes, check their rows and choose Review selected changes.
  5. Check the employee and pay record, the effective date, the cost change, and whether you have permission to apply it. Check any linked active position request and the effect of this application before continuing.

The selection preserves the exact work and information checked. Editing the proposal or changing relevant official information requires a fresh selection and review of its effects. If independent approval is needed for one position, use its Create approval request action separately.

Apply the exact selection

  1. Open the prepared pay-change selection.
  2. Choose Apply selected changes.
  3. Read the confirmation, effective date, and affected requests, enter the application reason, then confirm the intended change.
  4. Follow progress until the selection shows Applied.
  5. Wait for the approved compensation result to refresh.

Applied means the change was saved. Calculating means its updated result is still being prepared. A calculation delay is not a reason to enter or apply the raise again.

Check what changed

Open Compensation > Employee pay, select Avery, and review the pay timeline for January 1, 2027. Then inspect the assignment’s calculation.

Check Expected result
Recorded salary $63,000, on the intended assignment and dates
Benefits $63,000 × 20% = $12,600
Yearly compensation $63,000 + $12,600 = $75,600
Budget Still $70,000 + $14,000 = $84,000
Position and assignment Still 1 FTE each

Open View application on Avery’s Applied row to see who applied the selection and when. The reviewed proposal and completed reports retain their original values.

If approved information changed during review

On a separate practice workforce plan, have the approved pay changed after the proposal was prepared. Return to Overview, wait for its automatic refresh, and review the completed comparison. Inspect any Needs review message and review the updated selection before applying. An exact change already approved elsewhere shows Already official. Matching totals alone do not prove an exact match.

Cancel only unapplied work if you decide not to continue. A change already applied needs a supported later change or correction; canceling the workforce plan does not undo it.

If application stops

Read the reported problem. If application failed, none of that selection was saved. Correct the reported problem, then use the retry action on the same selection. Retrying does not apply the raise twice. Changes applied earlier remain saved.

After the baseline automatically refreshes, check that the completed raise is counted once. Avery’s approved salary should still be $63,000, not a second 5% increase. The workforce plan’s difference may change when approved information already includes the raise; open the Applied row to explain the original decision.
