Does anyone issue lump sum payments to employees who are over their maximum pay range in lieu of a salary increase which would push them even more above their max pay range? If you do, do you have anything on the employee record indicating that they received a lump sum payment? Salary changes are a personnel action, so you can see when they were issued with the effective date. Lump sum payments were uploaded via add-ins by payroll, so we can't immediately tell if someone received a lump sum. We'd have to look back at their checks or refer to the spreadsheet.
