Running the Under Min / Over Max Report in CAT

Overview

Title minimum and maximums will be pulled from HRS as of the beginning of the Fiscal Year. Employee records that have an Over Max/Under Min error will continue to appear on this report unless their updated Comprates are changed in the CAT to be within the salary range (even if they are approved to be over the maximum or under the minimum for that title.)

For Madison employees, the Extraordinary Salary Range (ESR) minimum and maximums will appear on this report as separate columns from the HRS minimum and maximums. If a Madison employee record has an ESR, the logic of this report will compare their updated CAT salary to the ESR range, and ignore the HRS range.

Instructions

  1. Navigate to Workforce Administration > UW External HR Systems > Compensation Admin Tool > CAT Reports > Under Min/Over Max Report.

  2. Click Search under the Find an Existing Value tab to select a previously created Run Control ID, or create a new Run Control ID by selecting Add a New Value.  To create a new Run Control ID, assign a unique identifier as the Run Control ID (eg. initials_date_etc.) into the Run Control ID box and select Add.

    • NOTE:  The Run Control ID sets the report parameters.  Users can create one ID and use it to run multiple reports/processes, or create a new ID for each report/process.

    Step 2

  3. Enter parameters to define criteria for the Under Min/Over Max Report.

    1. Select the upcoming Fiscal Year used for CAT budget planning purposes.  This field will default to the latest Fiscal Year setup in the CAT.

    2. Select a Business Unit

    4. If desired, select a Department

      • If available, the Department field will become editable when the user selects a Division from the search tool or enters one manually and presses the tab button
    5. Check or Uncheck the "Include Vacants" checkbox.

      • Leaving this checked will pull Vacant positions from the AAP whose Full Time Rate is under the minimum or over the maximum salary for the Job Code entered in the AAP.
      • Unchecking the checkbox will ensure that only CAT positions that are under the minimum or over the maximum salary will appear on the report.
    6. Click Select Values in the employee class box if you wish to exclude certain employee classes from the report.  The default is for all employee classes to be included.  Employee classes that are not included in the CAT will not pull onto the CAT reports.

    1. If Run Status is "Queued," it indicates that the report generation is waiting to start.
    2. If Run Status is "Blocked," it indicates that another process or report is currently running.  Do not resubmit your report.  It will queue up once the other process has completed.
    3. If Run Status is "Processing," it indicates that your report is being generated.
  8. Once the Run Status is equal to "Success" and the Distribution Status is equal to "Posted," you can download the output.
