Create New Notches {FPRU-2}

This program allows the user to enter a corresponding "new" Salary Notch value for each "existing" Salary Notch value.

• The old notch file should have been created with Create Old Notch File {FPRU-1} for the specific appointment type for which new notches should be created. 
• Please ensure that the new salary scales are created prior to this action, so as to ensure that new notches still fall within the approved salary scale. 

Do not delete old notches from the old notch file, because this file will be used for rollback purposes should new notch increases be incorrect. If a particular notch must not be changed, the “New Notch” field must be left blank.  

Upon <EXIT>ing, the system validates the new notches against the latest scale cycle set to ensure that they comply with the new scales.

Advise the new notch in the blank field next to the old notch field, if a new notch must be created.  Notches are displayed per appointment type and a new notch will only affect personnel linked to the specific appointment type.
