9.2 Automated Step Increment

Purpose: Use this document as a reference for how to run the automated step increase process in ctcLink

Audience: HR Administrator.

This process automatically moves employees to the next salary step when they have completed the required time in the current step.  This process selects the employees that are eligible for a step increase and loads their records to a temporary table.  The system inserts a new job data row for employees who meet the data in the Hours or Months to Next Step increment fields.

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZC HR Employee Maintenance
  • ZC HR Position Management
  • ZZ HR Employee Maintenance
  • ZZ HR Local Configuration

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.
