Employee Level Loan Compensation Max Cap

 

Employees each have a space for a personal maximum cap per loan on their employee profile. This article details how these max caps calculate, and how to manage them.

Overview

Admins can set employee max cap per loan in the Comp Plan tab of the Employee Details screen.

Employee max caps consist of the following data:

  • Max Cap: Maximum dollar amount the employee can receive per loan. This is the maximum amount an employee can receive after the system calculates all incentive plans and adjustments that are subject to the max cap on the loan.

  • Start Date: Date the max cap began.

  • Stop Date: Date the max cap ended (optional).

 

Employee max caps per loan are distinct from plan assignment max caps. When the system calculates max caps, it applies the per-assignment max caps, and then the employee max caps per loan.
