Opus allows users to enter salary data when starting a case, and to view this information in an appointee's profile. This information includes annual base salary as well as the on-scale and off-scale information. For appointees on the Health Sciences Compensation Plan (HSCP), X and X' are also displayed.
"Salary" means the approved annual base salary for a given appointment. When starting a case or viewing a profile, this amount is broken down for each department, with the proportion assigned to each typically corresponding with the percent of full-time equivalent (FTE) that the appointment has in each department.
For appointees on HSCP, salary is often displayed as a combination of X and X'. In this scenario, X is the on-scale salary amount, while X' is the difference between that amount and the scale associated with the appointee's academic programming unit (APU).
