This section provides an overview of personnel action reasons and discusses how to:
Define or review personnel actions.
Define personnel action reasons.
In the course of maintaining information in the Administer Workforce business process, you'll enter changes to worker data resulting from such activities as promotions, transfers, terminations, salary increases, and leaves of absence. Each of these activities is called a personnel action, and you use them to enter and update employee data on the Job Data - Work Location page and the Data Control page. The codes classifying the types of personnel actions that you'll perform are stored in the Translate table.
You'll often have different reasons for performing the same type of personnel action for workers. For example, you could enter the action leave of absence for one person for maternity or paternity leave, for another person because of military service obligations, and for yet another person for health reasons.
So that you can easily identify the causes of changes made to worker data, you can designate reasons for taking personnel actions. The Human Resources system already contains some reasons for actions, but you'll probably want to add others that apply specifically to your company. To do so, use the Action Reason Table page.
Note. To view a complete list of all actions and reasons already defined within the system, generate the Action Reason Table report (PER710).
If you're driving part or all of PeopleSoft Human Resources by position, you'll want to enter reasons for changes to position data also (on the Position Data 1 page). For example, you might enter a personnel action of Position Change because of a reorganization of your company; a change in position title; a job reclassification; or, when you transfer employees to other positions, you need to change the position numbers (and related data) assigned to them.
To add action reasons pertaining to position change actions, use the action code POS (position change).
Global Assignments and Action Reasons
If you send workers on global assignments, you'll probably want to identify reasons for the assignments (on the Home/Host Data page). For example, you might process some assignments that are due to a transfer of skills and others due to a local shortage of skilled personnel. To track assignment types more easily, you'll find it helpful to specify reasons for them.
To set up reasons specific to global assignments, use the action codes ASG (assignment) and ASC (assignment completion).

To set up SmartHire templates, use the Template Record/Field (HR_TBH_RECDEFN), Template Section (HR_TBH_SECDEFN), Template Creation (HR_TBH_CREATION), Copy Template (HR_TBH_COPY), and Template Category Table (HR_TBH_CTG_TBL) components.
This section provides an overview of the SmartHire (template-based hire) process, common elements in this section, and discusses how to:
Define template records and fields.
Set up template sections.
Define template section field configurations.
Define hire template categories.
Create a hire template.
Configure a hire template.
Set up hire template sections.
Configure the fields for a section.
Set up hire template person rules.
Copy a hire template.
SmartHire, or template-based hiring, is a simplified and streamlined approach to completing the hiring process. Hiring templates are created and configured by a template administrator, someone who is very familiar with your organization's hiring process. After the template administrator has created and tested templates, line managers or human resources (HR) representatives can use these templates for hiring, based on the security rules that you establish.
The template administrator determines the following aspects of each hiring template:
The sections, or logical groupings of fields, that are included in a template, and their sequence.
The sequence of fields within a section.
Default values for fields.
Hidden fields.
Display-only fields.
If data entered by the end user can be directly submitted for processing or must be reviewed by an HR administrator.
The template administrator can test a template by performing a mock hire without actually hiring a person into the system.
This diagram shows the integration between the SmartHire (template-based hire) process and other products. Administrators create the template so that users can then enter person and job data. This data populates the person and job records in the core HR and federal HR systems, and it provides default values for the PeopleSoft Enterprise Benefits, Global Payroll, Payroll for North America, and Time and Labor applications:
The SmartHire process collects data and provides data to other PeopleSoft HRMS applications
Template-Based Hire Template Security

Note. The template setup components have no row-level security.
Implement security for using the SmartHire templates through the existing Human Capital Management row-level security. SmartHires, or template-based hires, use the following fields for security: Template ID, Organizational Relationship (Employee or Contingent Worker), Country, and Category.
See Understanding SmartHires (Template-Based Hires).
See Setting Up and Administering HRMS Security.
Delivered Template-Based Hire Sections
The fields available for templates are grouped into sections, like group boxes. For example, you may have a Work Location - Job Fields section that includes fields to enter a company, department, and location code. You can determine which sections and the order in which the sections should be presented to the end user when creating a SmartHire template. Sections and their fields are delivered as system data. Sections are maintained in the Template Section component (Set Up HRMS, Product Related, Workforce Administration, Template-Based Hires, Template Section). These delivered sections can be modified within your templates to suit your organization's needs for hiring.

As the template administrator, you can use the section label name listed, or create a text catalog entry for those fields in which you want to change the label.
Required and Recommended Sections within a Template
These sections are required when creating a template:
NAME_01_xxx (Names) - where xxx is the country code.
BIRTH_INFO (Birth Information)
GENDER (Gender)
JOB_PAYROLL_SYSTEM (Payroll System)
Note. The Name, Birth Information, and Gender sections are sequentially listed before the National ID section. Oracle highly recommends that you keep this order in the PeopleSoft SmartHire template for the National ID validations to work properly for certain countries.
Oracle recommends that these sections be included in the PeopleSoft SmartHire template:
WORK_LOC_JOB_FLDS (Work Location - Job fields)
JOB_ABSENCE_SYSTEM (Absence System)
JOB_PAYROLL_INFO (Payroll Information)
JOB_COMP_PAY_CMPNT (Job Compensation - Pay Components) or JOB_SALARY_PLAN (Job - Salary Plan)
BEN_PROG_BEN_STAT (Benefit Status)
Multiple Instances of an Element in a Template
The Template Record Setup table contains one row for each table currently included in the core hire process with at least one enterable field. However, there are some tables with multiple instances, such as phone numbers, email, addresses, and so forth, where more than one row exists. The system supports the use of these multiple elements in hiring templates. This way you are able to maintain more than one address section in a hiring template for different countries or multiple pay elements.
Note. If you need to have multiple instances of information
in a template, such as names, addresses, or compensation, you need to specify
a unique record alias for each additional instance.
For example, to add multiple pay components, rather than adding multiple
copies of the same compensation section in a template, you must first create
a new record and record alias, such as COMPENSATION1, and then add the fields
from the original compensation record to your newly created record.
In addition, each template section must use a unique record alias. For
example, if you need two address sections in your hiring template, one for
addresses in Australia and another section for addresses in Brazil, selecting
ADDRESS_01_AUS and ADDRESS_01_BRA can cause errors since both template sections
use the ADDRESSES_01 record alias. In this example you should use a different
address alias selection, such as ADDRESS_01_AUS and ADDRESS_02_BRA.
Troubleshooting Templates
During a template-based hire, if a person is hired with a past effective date and the hire fails, check the Default Benefit Program and default Pay Group values for the organization and make sure they are the correct. When the benefit system is Base Benefits or Benefits Administration, the benefits code invoked during a hire requires a default benefit program to be set on the Pay Group Table.
Check the Default Benefit Program value on the Pay Group table and make sure it has the correct value.
Check the Pay Group value on the Company table and make sure it has the correct default Pay Group value.
Hiring template (or template) |
A pre-configured template that enables end users to enter a subset of the data required for a hire. Other data is pre-entered by the template administrator during the template creation process. |
End user |
For the template-based hire process, the end user is typically a line manager or HR (Human Resources) representative in the field. This person is usually not familiar with the details of the hiring process. Whenever complex issues arise, the process is handed over to a centralized HR administrator. |
HR administrator |
The HR administrator is somebody who knows the hiring process very well and can easily deal with any level of complexity. This person reviews the data entered by end users and takes over the hiring process whenever errors occur or issues arise. |
The person in your organization who knows the hiring process very well (may be an HR administrator). The person assigned this role sets up and maintains hiring templates to be made available to end users. |
|
Implementer |
For the template-based hire process, the implementer is typically an IT (Information Technology) specialist who works closely with the HR administrator and template administrator to review the delivered template records/fields and sections and modifies them, if necessary. |
Template section (or section) |
The fields available for the templates will be grouped into sections. For example, the Work Location section will include the following fields (all on the Job record): Regulatory Region, Company, Business Unit, Department, Department Entry Date, Location, and Establishment ID. Sections are the building blocks for creating templates, not the individual records/fields. PeopleSoft delivers these sections as system data, but the implementer can modify them, delete them, or add new sections. |
Template page (or pages) |
The dynamically generated data entry page visible to the end user, consisting of one or more template sections. The template administrator decides whether the sections are displayed in one long page or divided into smaller pages. |
Template category |
The template administrator assigns each template to a category. The category provides row-level security for a template and can be used to group templates. A category may represent a specific department, location, business unit, region, and so forth. |
Auto-updates |
Determines whether data entered by the end user can be directly submitted for processing (auto-updating is turned on) or will need to be reviewed by an HR administrator (auto-updating is turned off). This auto-update functionality is set by the template administrator (the end user is not able to change it). |

To set up the hire notification roles table, use the Hire Notification (HR_HIRE_NOTIF) component.
This section provides an overview of hire notifications and discusses how to define which roles will receive hire notifications.
When a recruiter or user submits a hire request, the system uses the Hire Notification component to identify who should receive notification when someone is ready to be hired or there are errors in publishing the hire to HR.
Hire notification setup needs to be done for the administrator to receive email notifications that a person is ready to be hired or that errors occurred while processing the hire. The Hire Notifications page uses role queries to define who should receive notification of hire requests and errors. The delivered role query is ROLE_HIRE_NOTIF, however, you can define other role queries and add them on the Hire Notifications page.
The system enables hire notification emails:
Whenever a new hire request comes through the recruiting process.
Whenever there is an error in the push of profile data to HR once the applicant or person is hired.
The administrator can access the Manage Hires page to view pending hires and the status of each hire request to be processed.

To set up military rank structure tables, use the Service Components (MIL_SVC_COMPONENT), Component Categories (MIL_CMP_CAT_DEFN), Military Service (MIL_SERVICE_DEFN), Worn Rank Types (MIL_WRN_TYPE_DEFN), and Skill Grades (MIL_SKL_GRD_DEFN) components.
This section provides an overview of military ranking structure and discusses how to:
Enter military service types.
Create military component type categories.
Establish military service details.
Define service ranks.
Associate grades with ranks.
In a military organization, rank defines the hierarchy and organization of its personnel and represents seniority and command. Rank is also an attribute used to drive pay and is used in force planning, reporting, movement, and assignments. Once military functionality is enabled on the Installation table and the military tables set up in the PeopleSoft Human Resources system, you can associate military service and rank with jobs and positions or track the movement of service members between active (or inactive) duty, reserve call-ups, and so forth in Job Data.
PeopleSoft Human Resources provides the Military Service table to track the various services, ranks, and hierarchical structures for a country (for example, the U.S. has four services that have different ranks and structures). Within this table, military organizations can use sequence numbers and the National Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) rank codes to define a service structure's order for ranks. Rank structure is also broken down according to the following rank categories: Officers (OF), Other Ranks (OR), and Warrant Officers (WO). Within each of the three rank categories, ranks are graded numerically, as shown in this table:
Rank Category |
Numerical Grade |
Details |
Officers |
OF-01 to OF-10 |
|
Other Ranks |
OR–01 to OR–09 |
Other Ranks may include a sub-categorization of Non-Commissioned Officer or Enlisted personnel. These sub-categorizations vary by country. For NATO purposes, rank grades OR-05 to OR-09 inclusive are considered to be Non-Commissioned Officers. |
Warrant Officers |
1 to 4 |
Typically represent a hierarchy between non-commissioned officers and commissioned officers. |
Military organizations use the general salary plan tables to set up the general salary structures, for example Officers, Warrant Officers, Enlisted salary and other structures. Once salary plans and grades are established in the system, an organization can assign different salary grades to a rank for the purpose of calculating pay and seniority. When an individual is assigned a rank in Job Data, only those salary grades associated with their rank or worn rank are eligible pay structures.
Recording Rank Changes in Profile Management
PeopleSoft delivers the RANK content type to integrate a person's job with the Manage Profile feature. A profile integration update service, when set up accordingly in the Event Manager, updates a person's profile in Manage Profiles from Job Data when there's a rank change.
See Setting Up Profile Management.

Content Type |
Enter the content type that defines the rank (for example, rank, competency, degree). The PeopleSoft system delivers the content type RANK to record ranks. When a military service member's rank is updated in Job Data, the system will update that person's profile, if an organization has set up the Event Manager accordingly. |
Content Item ID |
Select a content item that further defines the RANK content type. The system uses this information to manage a person's job profile. |
Salary Grade |
Click to access the Salary Grades - Military Ranks page and define which salary plans and grades fit the pay attributes of this respective rank code. |
Access the Salary Grades - Military Ranks page (select the Salary Grade link on the Service Ranks page).
When a rank is associated with a service member, the system returns only those salary plans and grades that are applicable to the rank, as defined on this page.
To set up military rank change notification and documentation tables, use the Military Processing Definition (MIL_RANK_CHNG_PROC), Rank Change Status MIL (MIL_RANK_CHNG_STAT), Military Rank Change Template (MIL_RANK_CHNG_TMPL), and Clone Military Rank Template (MIL_RNK_CLONE_TMPL) components.
This section provides an overview of the military change rank and notification process and discusses how to:
Define military rank change processing rules.
Specifying allowable actions for rank change processing.
Create a military rank change template definition.
Enter military rank change control criteria.
Specify stakeholder notification details.
Clone a military rank change template.
The Military Rank Change process enables you to track the various states of military service member rank changes, notify stakeholders that are involved in the process using Approval Framework, and generate official documentation. If your organization has elected to require approval processing using the Rank Change process, then upon completion of the last approval, and when the date of the rank change arrives, the system will insert a new row into the service member's Job Data to reflect the rank change using the component interface CI_JOB_DATA.
Since rank change requests often happen months in advance of the actual approval process, the system enables you to record military rank change requests, amendments, and cancellations without having enter this information in Job Data. When approval processing is enabled, the system will send out rank change transaction notifications on a predefined date to stakeholders; stakeholders can be identified as either reviewers or approvers. Approvers will then access the self service pages to approve or deny the request.
The PeopleSoft HR application delivers several setup tables to support the rank change approval and notification process. These tables are available through these components:
Military Processing Definition
Use this component to identify the method used to access the employee-manager reporting structure for determining the unit commander with final approval. Also, this is the location you can enable the approval and prenotification process. When the approval process is not enabled in this component, the rank changes will automatically be applied to Job Data without requiring approvals when the Rank Change Application Date arrives.
Rank Change Status MIL
Use this component to specify a subset of valid actions and related statuses that can be used in a rank change request, since the final rank change promotion or demotion will be written to Job Data and requires an Action value. You can also opt to include this action and status for prenotification or whether to apply it to Job Data. Here, the system can also calculate the Early Promotion Date that's written to the Job Data row. Only the actions specified in this component will appear as a rank change option.
Military Rank Change Template and Clone Military Rank Template
Use these components to create templates that enable users to default as much data as possible into the Rank Change MIL component for a service member rank change request. This ensures that entering data is a quick and easy process. Use the cloning component to copy an existing template to streamline the template creation process.

Access the Military Processing Definition page (Set Up HRMS, Product Related, Workforce Administration, Workforce Data MIL, Military Processing Definition, Military Processing Definition).
Use this page to identify how the system will determine the unit commander role for the approval and workflow notification process. When using the approval process, the unit commander is the final approver. You will also use this page to identify if you want the system to require approvals for rank change or use the prenotification process.
Access Type |
Select the access type that best fits how the unit commander structure for your organization is determined. This is the final approver for a service member's rank change. Valid values are By Department Manager ID, By Dept Security Tree (by department security tree), By Group ID, By Part Posn Mgmt Dept Mgr ID (by partial position management department manager ID), By Part Posn Mgmt Supervisor (by partial position management supervisor), By Reports To Position, and By Supervisor ID. See Setting Up Access to Direct Reports Data, Configuring Direct Reports Functionality. |
Approval Process? |

Select this check box to enable the Prenotification process and have the system notify stakeholders in advance of a rank change being made to Job Data. This function provides stakeholders with another opportunity to review the service member's rank change before Job Data is updated. Coordination with the career manager and manual intervention would be required at this point to stop the system from processing the rank change. The actual prenotification date is defined on the Stakeholder page of the Rank Change MIL component for the person receiving the rank change.
Note. If the Application Date field
on the Military Rank Change page of the Rank Change MIL component is not populated,
the prenotification date on the Stakeholder page will not be populated and
therefore not picked up by the prenotification process. |

Use this page of the template to configure for an immediate start of the approval process (when the rank change request is saved) or configure the approval process to start on a future date, to be calculated by the system. This page also enables the user to associate a prenotification date, which is essentially a final notification to stakeholder that the rank change is being applied to Job Data.
Immediately (Current Date) |
Select this method to have the system populate the Start Approvals On field in the Rank Change MIL component with the system date. This will start the approval process upon saving the request in the Rank Change MIL component. |
Future Date and Status Date + Days |
Select this method to have the system populate the Start Approvals On field in the Rank Change MIL component with a future date based on the Status Date field value in the Rank Change MIL component. When you select this option, the Status Date + Days field becomes available. Enter the number of days (up to two digits) the system should wait before sending out the approval notices. For example, you create a template indicating that approvals should be sent out on a future date. You enter 14 in the Status Date + Days field. Later, the HR manager enters a request for an employee rank using this template with a Status Date value of September 1. The system automatically populates the Start Approvals On field with the date of September 15 on the Stakeholder page of the Rank Change MIL component, 14 days after the status date of this request. The HR manager can accept this default value or override this value with another date. |
Prenotification Date = Effective Date - Days |
Enter the number of days prior to the rank change being applied to the person's Job Data record that the stakeholders should be notified of the change being made in the system. The system calculates the prenotification date using the Application Date value on the Military Rank Change page in the Rank Change MIL component minus the number of days entered in this field. The system then enters this date in the Prenotification Date field on the Stakeholder page of the Rank Change MIL component. The HR manager can accept this default value or override this value with another date when creating the rank change request. Note. Prenotification must be enabled on the Military Processing Definition page in order for prenotification to be performed. |

To set up the additional employment setup data tables, use the Ethnic Groups (ETHNIC_GROUP_GBL), Non-Employee Provider (NEE_PROVIDER_TBL), Religions (RELIGION_TBL_GBL), Supervisor Levels (SUPVSR_LVL_TBL), Temporary Duties (TEMP_DUTIES_TBL), Volunteer Organizations (VOLUNTEER_ORG_TBL), and Employee Class (EMPL_CLASS_TABLE) components.
This section provides and overview of supervisor levels and discusses how to define ethnic groups.
Supervisor levels are a class of position such as Division Manager and Section Chief. They represent levels of some managerial or supervisory significance that bear responsibility for work above a certain level in order to achieve the organization's management goals.
The concept of employees' supervisor level is a central one in some places, such as Japanese companies' human resources management. It may or may not be related to an employee's "job." Companies usually use supervisor level as another type of employee identifier. Companies that do not use capability grades (or Job Management) may still require the tracking of supervisor levels. Many companies pay employees a component of pay related to their supervisor level.
Supervisor levels usually combine with departments to define positions or posts within an organization, as shown in this sequence of three tables:
Table 1: Supervisor Levels
This table lists the supervisor levels and their descriptions.

When you create or update employee Job records, you can enter the supervisor levels that you set up in the Supervisor Level table on the Job Information page. And, because supervisor level is an employee identifier just like job code, position, or manager level, it appears throughout the system. You can view it or enter it on many of the pages on which you can also view or enter job codes, positions, and manager levels. You can also view it on Job Summary and throughout the Plan Careers and Successions and Track Global Assignments business processes.

To set up the checklists tables, use the Checklist Items (CHKLST_ITEM_TBL), Checklist (CHECKLIST_TABLE), and Dynamic Link (DL_LINK_TBL) components.
This section provides an overview of checklists and discusses how to set up standard checklists.
PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources enables you to make checklists to help you remember all the details associated with adding workers or handling other Administer Workforce tasks.
Use standard checklists as they are or use them as the basis for creating new checklists for particular workers. Make the items as general or specific as you want them to appear in checklists. For example, to gather health records, you could set up one code for all health data. Or, you might want to create separate items for all the elements of health records, such as physical exams, immunizations, and tests.

Sequence and Item Code |
The system automatically sequences the item codes in multiples of 100. When you insert a data row for a new item, the system automatically assigns the next multiple of 100, such as 400. To rearrange the order in which the items appear, change the sequence numbers to the numerical order you want. For example, to reverse the order of Outline Office hours/holidays (100) and Outline job responsibilities (200), assign a lower number to Outline job responsibilities (such as 150) and a higher number to Outline Office hours/holidays (such as 175). When you save your changes, the system automatically displays the items in the new order. |
