Job Only Workforce: Merit and Department Salaries

Hi team,

I've never done Job Only application, and just had some questions that I'm hoping to get some help with :)

The immediate road block I hit with JO, is that Merit is not in Job Only. Is there a reason for this? Is there a way around it? All organizations have Merit, and each year the salaries of jobs will be increasing. How does OOB handle this is Merit is not in the app?

In addition, I know Salary Grades and such is setup by Company. If we are loading salaries by Job from a source HR System, are we able to load it by a second dimension (e.g Department), like you can in emp+job ?
