Preventing Unintended Salary Change Records with Zero Increase

Issue Description:

• Salary change records showing zero increase were being unintentionally generated.

• If zero increase entries still appear after removing the salary section, then:
  • The only solution is to raise a Service Request (SR) with Oracle Support for further investigation.
