Employee Information Management and Competencies


The employee profile repository stores information about each employee in an organization.

The following Employee views allow you to add and manage the certifications, honors, and awards the employee has achieved, as well as note the employee's professional memberships.

  • Certification. Use this view to enter details about certifications an employee has received, the institution attended, and date of certification.
  • Honor/Award. Use this view to enter details about honors and awards an employee has received, the institution that presented the honor or award, date received, and additional comments.
  • Membership. Use this view to enter information about professional memberships the employee holds, active status, starting and ending dates, and whether the membership is company related.

Employee Skill Utilization

The following views allow you to manage employee assignments and use an employee's skills:

  • Employee Assignment Rules. Use this view to record assignment rules and filters that apply to an employee, along with the activation date, expiration date, and a description of the rule.
  • Employee Availability. Use this view to enter an employee's availability for assignment and the project and account the employee is assigned to with starting and ending dates and estimated hours required.
  • Employee Exception Hours. Use this view to enter any exception hours an employee works, the dates worked, type of exception, and reason for exception.
  • Employee Utilization. Use the two drop-down lists in this view to display Utilization or Time Sheet Details and to select the type of chart display for this information—two-dimensional or three-dimensional line, bar, or stacked bar charts.

Other Job-Related Information

The following views allow you to manage employment information and job tools and assets issued to the employee:

  • Job Information. Use this view to view and enter information about the employee's employment status, compensation eligibility, and performance statistics.
  • Sensitive Job Information. This read-only form provides compensation details for the employee, including salary, salary plan, bonus target percent, and so on.
  • Service Details. This view includes information on the employee's service requirements, such as the cost per hour, shift schedule, and whether the employee is compensated for overtime hours.

The information stored in the employee profile repository is used by other Siebel applications and modules. For example, the skills in an employee's profile are used by Competency Management to calculate skills gaps, which helps to identify areas in which an employee needs to update his or her skills.

You can restrict visibility of an employee profile view based on the responsibilities of the employee. For more information about visibility and responsibilities, see Applications Administration Guide.
