  4. Select Promotion from the Action drop-down menu.
  5. Selecting an action that changes an employee's data, you could be changing the employee's status.  The employee status is not user-selected; rather, it is derived (or set) based on a selected action.  This is important because a change in an employee status can effect both benefits and payroll processing.
  6. Select the Reason from the drop-down menu.
  7. The action tells the ctcLink system what to do; the reason describes why it should be done.

For reporting purposes, it is important to accurately select the appropriate reason code.  If a user designates the Action of Pay Rate Change, for example, the user will want to be able to run reports that distinguish for different reasons.  An across-the-board pay rate change is different than a promotional pay rate change.
