A base salary increase may not appear in raise analyses. The Raises not counted rule excludes certain cases related to the employee’s situation and contract.
Which increases are not counted?
Reflect does not count an increase as a raise in these situations:
on the employee’s arrival date;
if the employee is outside HR headcount on the day of the increase;
if the employee is outside HR headcount on the day before the increase, when Reflect has a record for the employee on that day;
if their normalized Type of employment is “Internship”;
during the first or last calendar month of the contract, if the employee’s HR FTE is missing or zero and their finance FTE is nonzero.
For example, if a contract starts on March 15 and the employee’s HR FTE is missing or zero while their finance FTE is nonzero, an increase on March 25 is not counted as a raise. The first month here means the whole month of March.
What is the effect on the numbers?
An excluded increase does not add to Salary increase count and does not become the latest raise used in time-based analyses. It can therefore also affect the ratio of employees who received a raise or the time without a raise. The rule does not delete the salary sent to Reflect.
Other conditions also apply, including the increase threshold and the period following a change in employment category.
What should you check if the numbers differ?
Check the period and filters, then the contract dates, employment category, FTE and salary data sent to Reflect. Also check whether the employee is in HR headcount on the relevant day and the day before. The active status guide explains one of the conditions for inclusion in headcount.
If the discrepancy remains, contact your Reflect representative to check the data and applicable rules.
