Conditions for automated salary increases amendments

An automated salary increase amendment is possible if: 

• The only change requested is to the employee’s salary 
• The request is for a salary increase, not a decrease
• The salary increase would not result in a +15% increase to the employee’s salary over a 180-day period
• The effective date of the change is in the future
• The company account is not flagged for fraud
• The employee is not in Germany, Indonesia, Ukraine, or Portugal (where wet signatures are required or other complications exist)
• The employee does not have an existing, pending amendment

How to request an automated salary increase amendment

The automated salary increase amendment follows the same process as a contract amendment request. The difference being that, if an automated salary increase amendment is possible, you will see a notification at the top of the screen right before you submit the request. 

Once you click on Confirm and amend contract, several things will happen: 

• We will add an amendment letter to the employee's Documents tab 
• The employee will receive an email notification that their amendment letter has been uploaded to their profile
• The request status will switch to Done
