Set-up Rewards Configuration
Before you start working on your MBC Reward Calculations, you will first need to set-up the Rewards Configuration area. In the previous version of RCA this was called the Mission Profile, now this area is Rewards Configuration. This is where Reward Calculation Mission Admins will work to set up the Time & Attendance dates, Cut Off Date, adjust pools, update Time & Attendance Codes, create conditions, update grades, update salary plans, review and update approvers and choose which memos to use. Setup is mandatory and you will not be able to move to the next step of the calculation process until you update and save this information.
To set-up the Rewards Configuration, you will first need the Rewards Calculation Mission Admin role assigned to you. You will then see Rewards Calculation on the left hand menu under Org. Admin Reports.
Reward Configuration - Mission
The first time you set-up the Rewards Configuration, you will be required to configure the Mission information. When you look at this screen you will notice the Post Codes, Mission Name, Description, Rating Year Start and End Dates are greyed out. This information is now pulled directly from your GoMBC Mission Profile. To change any of this information, you will need to update your GoMBC Mission Profile. If you have any Post Codes missing, open a ticket with ADG-Support@state.gov.
Use the drop-down menu to select a Performance Cycle, you will only have performance years available which have already been created in GoMBC.
Next you will need to select the Time & Attendance Dates you will use for the calculations. Remember the dates will not match exactly to the Performance Cycle Dates. Click on the calendar icon to first select the Time & Attendance Start Date, choose the first Sunday of the Pay Period you select. Then click on the calendar to select the Time & Attendance End Date, choose the last day of the pay period.
The Base Increase Rate will populate from the Mission Profile in GoMBC, if you need to adjust this number, you can type directly into the text box.
You will also need to update the LCP Currency by entering the currency abbreviation which is used in your Mission by typing directly into the LCP Currency text box.
The Number of Standard Working Hours per Pay Period will default to 80. This is the number of standard hours which is used for the majority of the LE Staff in your mission. You might have multiple salary plans with more hours, but use the number which is most applicable.
You will need to set the Cut-Off Date for Time & Attendance Adjustments by clicking on the calendar icon. The date must be after the Time & Attendance End Date, if you don't choose a date after the Time & Attendance End Date, you will get an error message and you will not be able to move forward.
If your mission offers employees the option to choose between a lump sum payment or base salary increase, you will need to set the toggle button to Yes. When Yes is selected, you will need to choose a Lump Sum Decision Deadline using the pay period calendar.
Use the Performance Pay Effective Date calendar by clicking on the calendar icon to choose the date the rewards are scheduled to be paid.
Click Save when you are finished. A green Proceed button will appear, however you will not be able to select proceed until you have completed all required data for the Rewards Configuration.
