Field Name	Notes / Instructions
Employee Title	The employee's official job title. Examples are "Assistant Pricipal," "English Teacher," "Custodian II," and "Food Service Worker."
Salary Adjustment Profile	If this employee is typically part of a group that shares a common set of contractual terms, select his/her group profile from the drop-down menu. It is also okay to leave this blank if the employee does not fit into a defined group.
Days in School Year	The number of work days in the school year. It is usually 260 for public schools but may be 261 in some years.
Location	The location in which the employee will work at the school. Examples are "Glenora High School," "Buildings & Grounds," and "Eastview Middle School Cafeteria."
Signature Deadline	If you will be sending the employee a notice of wage/salary, enter the date on which his/her approval of the wage/salary is due.
Applicable Date Range	Enter the dates between which the salary/wage applies. It is a text field, so you can enter dates in any format you desire. For example "July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015" or "07/01/2014 to 06/30/2015."
Pay Variable Group	If you selected a group profile from the Salary Adjustment Profile drop-down menu, and that group has an associated Pay Variable Group, select the Pay Variable Group from the drop-down menu. If you did not select a Salary Adjustment Profile, or if there is no Pay Variable Group associated with the group profile you selected, leave this field blank.
Standard Annual Raise	This is the increase in wage or salary that the employee will receive: Standard Annual Raise = New Base Salary/Wage - Old Base Salary/Wage Examples: If an employee received $14.50/hour previously and will now receive $15.00, you will enter .50 in the Standard Annual Raise field because $15.00 - $14.50 = $.50 If an employee received $54,750.00 in salary previously and will now receive $55,000.00, you will enter 250.00 in the Standard Annual Raise field because $55,000.00 - $54,750 = $250.00. Omit dollar signs ($).
Additional Annual Raise	If the employee should receive any other monies not included in the standard raise, longevity bonus, merit increase, etc., enter that amount here. Leave blank if not applicable. Typically this field is left blank because stipends, attendance, longevity, grad hours, in-service, etc. are handled elsewhere.
Longevity Bonus	If the employee is entitled to a stipend for longevity enter the full amount. For example .30 or 1.20. Omit dollar signs ($).
Merit Increase	If the employee is entitled to a stipend for merit enter the full amount. For example 1000.00 or 150.00. Omit dollar signs ($).
New Salary/Hourly Rate	Enter the employee's new salary or hourly rate. For example: If an employee received $14.50/hour previously and will now receive $15.00, you will enter 15.00 If an employee received $54,750.00 in salary previously and will now receive $55,000.00, you will enter 55,000.00 Omit dollar signs ($).
Date Staff Member Approved	This is a read-only field that will be filled in with a date once the employee approves his/her notice wage/salary.
Goals Bonus	If the employee is entitled to a stipend for achieving goals enter the full amount. For example 1000.00 or 150.00. Omit dollar signs ($).

Budget Object	The employee's object code. Leave blank if not applicable.
Budget Project	The employee's project code. Leave blank if not applicable.
Request Pay Selection	Check the checkbox if the employee is required to select the number of pay periods he/she receives in a year (i.e. 22 vs 26 pays). Leave the checkbox un-checked if the employee is not given this choice.
Current Pay Selection	This is the number of pays the employee is currently receiving annually (e.g. 22 or 26).
Hours Per Day	The number of hours the employee works per day. If the employee is salaried or if the hours per day are irrelevant, you can leave this blank.
Employee Comments	Leave blank. This will be filled in if the employee challenges his/her notice of wage/salary.
HR Notes	If you have any private notes you'd like to log with the salary adjustment, enter them here. These notes are only visible to administrators and human resources staff.

(Repeat for all pay variables):
- Pay Value Salary - Enter the pay variable value/amount if it is an annual amount here (enter zero if it's an hourly amount).
- Pay Value Hourly - Enter the pay variable value/amount if it is an hourly amount here (enter zero if it's an annual amount).

If you want to make a private note about the changes you are making for later reference, you can add notes in the field called "HR Notes." These notes will be visible to Administrators and Human Resources personnel but will not be visible to the employee at all.
