You can add a new job record to the system in several ways. Each way uses its own component. Although the components are made up of the same pages, each one is configured to help you enter the correct data for a particular situation.

Before you create a job record for a person, you must add them to the system in the Add a Person component (PERSONAL_DATA_ADD).

See Adding a Person in PeopleSoft Human Resources.

The data that you enter on these pages is used throughout PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources and PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM to manage the people in the system. The process of entering additional data for employees or contingent workers that is not covered in the job data pages discussed in this chapter can be found elsewhere in this PeopleBook.

Note. Template-based hires does not use the actual job data pages in the template, however, it does use all the fields broken up into logical sections.

Note. The components that you use to add and update job records are made up of a number of different pages. To navigate through the entire component, click the Job Data, Employment Data, Earnings Distribution, and Benefits Program Participation links at the bottom of the pages.

Adding New Job Records through the PeopleSoft Services Procurement Integration

A new job record may also be created in the system if your organization uses the PeopleSoft Enterprise Services Procurement product within the PeopleSoft Enterprise Supply Chain Management (SCM) database. The PeopleSoft applications deliver integration points that enable you to use PeopleSoft Human Resources as your system of record for contingent workers who are brought in to fill PeopleSoft Services Procurement requisitions.

When a work order is submitted in Services Procurement, the Services Procurement application does the following:

  1. If the Services Procurement service provider is a new candidate, Services Procurement sends a message to Human Resources requesting Human Resources to add this person with an organizational relationship of contingent worker, add a job assignment, and create a user profile.

  2. If the Services Procurement candidate already exists in the Human Resources system, Services Procurement sends a message with this person's ID requesting Human Resources to create a new job assignment for this person.

  3. When a Services Procurement work order is closed or cancelled, Services Procurement sends a termination message to Human Resources. Human Resources then terminates the associated job assignment.

Human Resources uses the Component Interface (CI) and internal services to add the person, job, and user profile. This integration is automated and requires manual intervention only if there is a problem. For example, let's say Human Resources has successfully added a person profile from a Services Procurement request but encountered errors when creating the job assignment, such as an incorrect job code or location code. Human Resources sends a message back to Services Procurement stating that the person was created but the job assignment and user profile were not created and lists the error details. A Services Procurement administrator will then access the error correction page, correct the data, and resubmit the request. Human Resources will process the updated information, create the job assignment and user profile, and send an acknowledgement back to Services Procurement.

Note. The PeopleSoft Enterprise Services Procurement PeopleBook provides the technical details of the integration between PeopleSoft Human Resources and PeopleSoft Services Procurement..

Additional integration enables you to use Services Procurement to search for contingent workers as an alternate source of filling job postings in PeopleSoft Enterprise Talent Acquisition Manager. When you use this integration, and a new Services Procurement candidate is sent to Talent Acquisition Manager for hiring. Talent Acquisition Manager initiates the hire process and sends all necessary Human Resources data to Services Procurement to add the contingent worker information. When the hire is successful, Talent Acquisition Manager sends a message to Services Procurement stating that the candidate was added. At this point, Services Procurement will send a message to Human Resources to add a user profile for this candidate in the Human Resources system. Human Resources will add the user profile and send an acknowledge message. Services Procurement continues to send messages directly to the Human Resources system when it is time to terminate the Services Procurement service provider.

Understanding the Job Data Pages

The information that you enter when you add a new employment, contingent worker, or POI instance is the foundation for most of the business processes that you carry out later. That information includes the following:

After you enter job information into the system, you can work with it in a variety of ways. For example, you can generate printed reports, view summary data pages, and perform ad hoc queries online. You can also use job data as the basis for performing tasks in all other aspects of human resources management, such as salary administration, regulatory requirements, payroll, and benefits.

Understanding Employment Information Data

Unlike the data on the Job Data pages, the information on the Employment Information page isn't effective-dated, so the data that you enter and review on this page tells you about the worker's current information for this employment record number.

This means that if you rehire a worker and enter a future effective date, the system deselects the Termination Date and Assignment End Date fields. To review information that is in other data rows, use the Job Data component.

This page tracks data at two different levels: organizational and assignment. The organizational instance is the occurrence of an employment, contingent worker, or POI relationship with an organization, initiated when you create the person's first job data record. The system uses an organizational instance record number to distinguish between organizational instances. The organizational instance number is the same as the Employment Record (ERN) of the original (controlling) job data record under that instance.

The assignment level is the actual job data record, or records, associated with the instance. Since people can have more than one job data record under an instance (for example, an additional job or a temporary assignment), tracking the dates of the assignments separately from the dates of the instance enables you to distinguish between when a person was hired (tracked at the instance level) and terminated and when they started and completed an assignment or job.

The system uses the dates of the original job data record under an instance (when there are more than one job data records under an instance, this job data record is the controlling instance) to determine the dates of the instance. All other assignments under the instance inherit the instance dates from the original assignment.

The system also uses the actions you use on a job data record to determine which dates to update. For example, when you use the action of HIR (hire), the system assumes that the new job data record represents a new instance for a new hire, with its own hire dates. However, if you use the action of ADL (additional job), the system assumes that the new job data record is in addition to an existing instance and will use the hire dates from the controlling instance.

This example illustrates how the system establishes and tracks the organizational record numbers, ERNs, instance dates, and assignment dates for someone with multiple organizational relationships and job data records:

Note. This example is intended to illustrate the record number fields and the system date fields, not every field on this page.

Bobby Singh joined company XYZ on February 2, 2002. At the end of 2006, company ABC bought company XYZ; it completed the takeover on January 1, 2007. When the HR administrator at company ABC first enters Bobby in the system, he creates a job data record with the action of HIR and an effective date of January 1, 2007, reflecting Bobby's hire date with the new company.

The fields on the Employment Data page have the following values:

From June 3, 2007 to September 10, 2007, Bobby has an additional assignment with the company. The HR administrator uses the action of ADL when creating the additional assignment so the system does not treat the new job data record as a separate instance with it's own hire date. The fields on the Employment Data page for the new assignment's job data record have the following values:

The organizational instance dates come from the original, controlling instance and cannot be changed on the Employment Data page for the non-controlling instance.

On September 15, 2007, Bobby takes on a new job with company ABC. The HR administrator creates a new employment instance and uses the action of HIR when creating the instance. The fields on the Employment Data page for the new job have the following values:

This organizational instance is completely separate from the first organizational instance and Bobby is treated as a new hire, as reflected in his original start date and service date. A company with different business rules may choose to acknowledge his past service for this instance, but company ABC does not and, because the two instances are separate, it doesn't have to.

Bobby is offered an additional assignment with the second job starting on January 14, 2008 and so he tenders his resignation for his original job, effective January 15, 2008. The fields on the Employment Data page for the first organizational instance have the following values:

Finally, the division in which Bobby has worked the two jobs in his second organizational instance closes, terminating both the controlling instance and, by association, the assignment effective September 30, 2008 and Bobby is rehired into his original job with a new, additional job on the side, effective September 15, 2008.

The following graphics illustrates Bobby's organizational instances and assignments:

Bobby's organizational relationships and assignments for organizational record 0 (1 of 2)

Notice that all of the instance dates come from the controlling assignment and that the termination date is refreshed when Bobby is rehired.

Security Considerations for Users Managing Employees and Contingent Workers

PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources enables human resources administrators to create job records for people in departments that they can't access for updates. This enables them to transfer workers from one department to another.

If you want to prevent administrators from creating job records for people in departments to which they don't have access, the system contains an optional view (DEPT_TBL_ACCESS) that shows only the department IDs. The administrator can access the view based on user security. To use this view, update the JOB record in PeopleSoft Application Designer so that the prompt table for the DEPT_ID field is DEPT_TBL_ACCESS.

Managing Job Data When You Use the Manage Positions Business Process

If you drive part or all of PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources by position, the process of adding a new job data record is somewhat different from the one that is described in this chapter. You still enter some data on the pages that are described in this chapter, but because you've already set up most job-related data on the Position Data component (POSITION_DATA), the system inserts default data automatically in many fields.

Full Position Management

Partial Position Management

Position-related fields are unavailable for entry in several Administer Workforce pages. When you select a position number for the person in the Position Number field, the system updates the position-related fields with the values associated with the position in the Position Data component.

The position-related fields are available for entry until you enter a position number in the Position Number field and move out of the field. The system updates the position-related fields with the values associated with the position in the Position Data component and makes them unavailable for entry.

Adding Versus Updating Job Records

After you set up job records for a member of the workforce, you can enter more data, build a comprehensive history of the person's career with the organization, and support workforce-related planning and decision-making for all areas of the organization.

The pages that you use when you add an organizational instance are the same ones that you use later to update existing job data records but are contained on different components. Use the Job Data component to update job data information.

Warning! PeopleSoft can't guarantee the results if you use the Add Employment Instance, Add Contingent Worker Instance, Add POI Instance, or Add Additional Assignment components to modify existing data. Use these components only when creating a new organizational instance.

See Updating Person and Job Information.

See (USF) Administering Personnel Action Requests.

(JPN) Assigning Internal Identification Numbers

This feature enables you to assign to a person's job record identification numbers that have some meaning to the organization. For example, the third digit of an internal ID may indicate employment type; the fifth might indicate work location; and the sixth, job type. You can store a standard ID, which doesn't have meaning and is used for keying the database, and an alternative, meaningful ID that can be changed as the person's circumstances change.

The system assigns IDs to people as you add them to the system in the Personal Information component. The system uses this ID to identify the person in all job records. Enter a meaningful internal ID number for a person in the Internal EmplID field on the Work Location page to capture information about the person's job situation.

You can update the internal ID each time that you insert a new row into the Job Data component. You can see those changes at a glance on the employee's Job Summary page, and you can search employees by their internal IDs.

The following examples illustrate how a person's internal emplID changes as their relationship to the organization changes, while their standard ID remains constant.

Example 1

In the Internal EmplID column of the following table, the first two numbers indicate the year (2004) that the person is hired as a full-time employee and the 2 in 20091 indicates part-time employment:

Action and Reason

Select the action requiring you to create or modify this record. The system displays a default value when you create a new employment, contingent worker, or POI instance. Reason codes are associated with the action you select.

Note. During data conversion into the PeopleSoft system for new customers, it may be appropriate to correct the default action value, such as Hire, to a value that reflects the person's current information, but changing the Action code for the first row of job data is not otherwise appropriate.

HR Status or Job Status

Displays the status of the current job record. A person can have an active HR status but an inactive job or payroll status.

The page displays the Job Status text for contingent worker or POI instances.

Payroll Status

For employment instances. Displays the payroll status of the current job record. Some changes that you make to this field trigger Retro Pay or Final Check processing.

A Retro Pay Request is triggered by any payroll status change with an effective date that's earlier than or equal to the latest pay end date of a check already paid to the employee.

A Final Check Request is triggered by any payroll status change that's based on one of the action or reason codes that are defined in the Final Check Action/Reason table.

Position Number

If you drive part or all of the system by position, select a position number. Define positions in the Add/Update Position Info component. When you leave the Position Number field, the system completes position-related fields in the Job Data component with default data from the Add/Update Position Info component, including job code, department, location, supervisor level, reports to, and full- or part-time status. The corresponding fields become unavailable for entry.

PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources issues a warning message if you assign a person to a position that is already filled and if the new appointment exceeds the maximum headcount for that position. The system calculates the headcount and displays the appropriate indicator in the Open/Filled field in the Add/Update Position Info component when you change assignments.

Position Entry Date

When you enter a position number for this person, the system populates this field with the effective date and this field becomes unavailable for entry. You can override the default by clicking the Override Position Data button.

Override Position Data and Use Position Data

Click Override Position Data to enter exceptions to the default position data for this person. This opens up the unavailable fields, including Job Code and Department, and you can override the entries that are in those fields. For example, the worker might have a higher salary grade than the standard grade that is associated with the position. When you click Override Position Data, the button becomes the Use Position Data button, and vice versa. This button is available only on new rows of data.

Note. If you override the defaults for position-related data, you must maintain the employee data manually; the system doesn't update the position data on the Job Data pages with data from the Add/Update Position Info component unless you click Use Position Data.

The system selects this check box when you make changes to fields in the Add/Update Position Info component that initiate a system update of fields here. A selected check box indicates that the system inserts a data row on the Job Data pages.

Regulatory Region

If you have specified a regulatory region for the position you associated with this person, the system enters a default regulatory region and this field becomes unavailable for entry, unless you click the Override Position Data button.

If you have not assigned the person to a position, then the system populates the field by default with the regulatory region for the person, based on your user preferences entered in the Org Defaults by Permission Lst component. You can override the default.

Company

If you have specified a company for the position you associated with this person, the system enters a default company and this field becomes unavailable for entry, unless you click the Override Position Data button.

If you have not assigned the person to a position and you assigned a company to a department in the Department table, a default company code appears, and this field becomes unavailable for entry. If you did not designate a company on the Department table, select a company here.

PeopleSoft Payroll for North America requires employees and supported types of persons of interest to be associated with companies that have the correct tax report type, as configured on the Company Table - Tax Details page:

  • Employees must be associated with companies with tax report type W-2 or W-2PR (W-2 Puerto Rico).

  • Other Payee and Pension Payee persons of interest must be associated with companies with tax report type 1099R.

  • Student Refund persons of interest must be associated with companies with tax report type Non-Employees or None.

See (USA) Entering FICA and Tax Information.

Business Unit

If you have specified a business unit for the position you associated with this person, the system enters a default business unit and this field becomes unavailable for entry, unless you click the Override Position Data button.

If you have not assigned the person to a position, then the system populates the field by default with the business unit for the person, based on your user preferences. You can override the default.

The business unit that you assign to the person on this page and the setID functionality in PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources Management affect the way that default values work throughout the PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources system. Your entry in this field controls the departments, locations, job codes, salary plans, and so on that you see on the remaining Job Data component pages.

Department

If you have specified a department for the position you associated with this person, the system enters a default department and this field becomes unavailable for entry, unless you click the Override Position Data button.

If you have not assigned the person to a position, select the department code for this person. When you leave the field, the system inserts a default supervisor or reports to ID on the Job Information page if you entered a default supervisor or reports to ID for this department in the Department table.

The system enters default values for the following fields on the Job Data - Payroll page: Employee Type and Pay Group (which you associate with a company in the Company table). Depending upon other data setup, the system might enter a default holiday schedule.

See Setting Up Holiday Schedules.

Note. Because this page can contain multiple data rows, the system doesn't always warn you that you must complete the Department field. However, if you change data in another field on the page, the system issues a warning and won't let you leave the field until you select a department code.

Department Entry Date

If you have specified a department for the position you associated with this person, the system enters a default department entry date and this field becomes unavailable for entry, unless you click the Override Position Data button.

When you leave the Department field, the system displays the date on which the person is first assigned to this department.

Location

If you have specified a location for the position you associated with this person, the system enters a default location and this field becomes unavailable for entry, unless you click the Override Position Data button.

If you have not assigned the person to a position and you assigned a location to a department in the Department table, the system displays the department location, if the default location setID that you define in the Department table matches the control location setID that is defined for that business unit in the TableSet Control - Record Group table. You can change the location code.

If you did not designate a location on the Department table, select a location here.

Note. For workers paid through PeopleSoft Enterprise Payroll for North America, the location that appears here does not determine the person's primary work state and location that appear on the paysheets. You specify that information by selecting a tax location code on the Job Data - Payroll page.

Establishment ID

Select the person's establishment.

Establishments are used for several countries for local regulatory reporting. These reports require that each person be assigned to a single establishment.

Establishments in regulatory regions other than USA have a one to one relationship with locations.

Note. (USA) In the USA regulatory region, there is a many to many relationship between locations and establishments. USA regulatory reports require that you associate an establishment ID with a person at the job level.

Note. (FRA) For payroll purposes, you must always assign persons to an establishment.

If a person is assigned to a position, the system enters the establishment ID that is associated with the position and makes the field unavailable. If you associate a non-French position with a French person, the field remains available for entry.

Date Created

Displays the date on which you enter this record.

Last Start Date

Enter the most recent start date for this organizational instance.

Expected Job End Date and Expected Return Date

Enter the end date or return date for this job, if known. If you don't know the date initially, you can enter it later.

If this job is a temporary assignment and you do not enter a date in the Expected Job End Date field, you can run the Temporary Assignment w/out End Date report to identify those assignments that do not have an end date. This date is necessary if you want the system to terminate this job and reactivate any substantive job that may be on hold.

The system displays the day before the termination effective date as the termination date.

End Job Automatically

Select to end the job on the specified date. This stops all related processing for payroll and benefits for this job. You must run the Reactivate/Termination Update process if the organization uses this feature. You can use this feature only if the Automatic Job Termination check box is selected on the Installation Table - Product Specific page.

Termination Date, Last Date Worked, and Override Last Date Worked

The system displays the day before the termination effective date as the termination date and the date last worked. These fields display when you have indicated an action that will inactivate or suspend a job. If you rehire the person, the system deselects these fields. When a person returns from leave, the system deselects only the Last Date Worked field. If the date is not accurate, select Override Last Date Worked to enter the date.

Payroll System

Select the payroll system that is used to process this person's paycheck. The Payroll System field is available for entry only if the Action that was entered on the Work Location page is Change of Pay System or a hire-related action such as Hire, Rehire, or Additional Job.

Note. PeopleSoft Enterprise Payroll for North America does not process payroll for contingent workers. Customers using the E&G contract pay functionality need to add contract workers using the Add Employment Instance component or the Organizational Relationships page.

Absence System

Select the absence system that is used to process this person's absences.

Payroll for North America

If you use PeopleSoft Enterprise Payroll for North America or PeopleSoft Enterprise Payroll Interface to process this person's paycheck, complete these fields:

Pay Group

Select a pay group. Available values are the valid pay groups for the country selected on the Company table (not the regulatory region selected in the worker's job data).

Employee Type

Displays the employee type; the value depends on the pay group. The system completes the field with the default value from the Pay Group table. If an employee type doesn't exist for this pay group, establish one in the Pay Group table.

Holiday Schedule

If you defined a default holiday schedule for the employee's location, the system displays it here. If you left the holiday schedule blank on the Location Profile page and entered a default on the Pay Group table, the system displays it here.

Tax Location Code

Select a tax location code. Available values are the valid tax locations for the country selected on the Company table (not the regulatory region selected in the worker's job data).

Warning! Do not change a person's tax location code more than once for the same effective date (using effective sequence). The system creates tax records according to the first tax location change only. Tax records for the second tax location change on the same date are not created; instead, the system issues an error message.

Tipped

Indicate whether this worker receives tips. This field is available only if you define tips processing in the Company table. Values are:

Directly: Select for workers who normally receive tips directly from customers (for example, food servers).

Indirectly: Select for workers who do not normally receive tips directly from customers, but who might receive tips occasionally (for example, cooks and kitchen helpers).

Not Tipped: Select for workers who are not tipped.

GL Pay Type (general ledger pay type)

Organizations can use this field for customized general ledger interfaces. Payroll for North America does not use this field.

FICA Status

Indicate whether the person status is exempt, subject, or Medicare only.

Combination Code

(Optional) Select the appropriate labor distribution to which to post the hours and earnings for this person. Enter the general ledger combination code in the employee's job data only on an exception basis. If you do not want the employee's earnings charged to the default combination code that is mapped to the earnings code and department, you can enter a different combination code here. For example, you might want to temporarily charge the employee's earnings to a different department. Use Correct History mode to enter or remove the temporary combination code.

Combination Code

Displays the combination code that defines a combination of ChartFields.

Edit ChartFields

Click this link to access the ChartField Details page for selecting ChartField values.

Global Payroll

If you use PeopleSoft Enterprise Global Payroll to process this person's paycheck, complete these fields:

Pay Group

Select a pay group.

The payroll system that you select on the Installation Table - Products page determines what value appears here. If Global Payroll is selected, the Global Payroll pay groups appear.

Note. The Global Payroll Pay Group field is different from the Payroll for North America Pay Group field. Pay group is very important in Global Payroll. Selecting Global Payroll as your payroll system on the Installation Table - Products page and selecting a pay group is what helps select a payee into the payroll process.

Use Pay Group Eligibility, Use Pay Group Rate Type, and Use Pay Group As Of Date

When you select a pay group, these check boxes are automatically selected.

Leave the check boxes selected to use the default values from the pay group definition. Deselect the check boxes to override the default values.

Note. PeopleSoft Enterprise Global Payroll stores the values at the Job level only if you override them here. If you add a new effective-dated row to the job record or change the pay group assignment, the system reverts to the pay group defaults.

Holiday Schedule

Enter a holiday schedule. If you leave this field blank, Global Payroll processing uses the holiday schedule assigned to the payee's pay group, but does not enter that holiday schedule here.

Eligibility Group

This field is blank if the Use Pay Group Eligibility check box is selected. If you want to override the pay group default, deselect the check box and select an eligibility group which specifies earnings, deduction, and absence elements that a payee might be eligible to receive.

Exchange Rate Type

This field is blank if the Use Pay Group Rate Type check box is selected. If you want to override the pay group default, deselect the check box and select the currency exchange rate type to use when performing currency conversions for the payee.

Use Rate As Of

This field is blank if the Pay Group As Of Date check box is selected. If you want to override the pay group default, deselect the check box and select the pay calendar date to use when retrieving the effective-dated exchange rate information during currency conversions. The Use Rate As Of field works with the Exchange Rate Type field to determine which effective date is retrieved to get the appropriate exchange rate for the calendar period being processed. Exchange rate effective dates include: Period Begin Date, Period End Date, and Payment Date.

Balance Group Nbr (balance group number)

Enter a balance group number. Balance group numbers identify which Global Payroll accumulator the system should store tax balances in. Tax accumulators are keyed by ID, empl rcd#, pay entity, and balance group number. You use balance group numbers to combine or separate tax balances for multiple jobs (where different tax rates apply) or to separate balances in the case of termination and rehire. A balance group ID for each payment summary is required at the end of the year. There must be a person tax data record for each balance group ID that the person has.

(HKG) Hong Kong

Balance Group Nbr (balance group number)

Enter a balance group number. When workers are terminated and subsequently rehired in the same or similar position in the same tax year (using the Job Data component in Workforce Administration), there is a legislative reporting requirement in Hong Kong to keep the periods of employment and earnings balances separately. PeopleSoft Enterprise Global Payroll uses the balance group number to ensure that the relevant periods of employment and balances of a worker in a tax year are stored separately in terms of payroll data. This enables a worker to have multiple tax balances if the worker is terminated and rehired in the same financial year.

When a worker is rehired in the same tax year, the balance amount is stored in the system variable CM VR BAL GRP ID, which is attached to each year-to-date (YTD) accumulator.

Every time you run the payroll process, the balance that is stored in the system variable CM VR BAL GRP ID is retrieved by the accumulator to resolve the earnings that are generated for each new position.

Balance group numbers are used to maintain earnings balances and are used as User Key 2 for all Hong Kong YTD accumulators.

(NZL) New Zealand

PeopleSoft Enterprise Payroll for North America PeopleBook

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicEntering Salary Plan Information

Access the Salary Plan page (Workforce Administration, Job Information, Add Employment Instance, Salary Plan).

Military

The section appears when military functionality is enabled on the Installation Table. Select a military service for a person on the Work Location page prior to entering a rank or worn rank.

Rank

Enter the service member's earned rank. Valid ranks are defined on the Military Service - Service Ranks page.

Rank Entry Date

Enter the date the member received this rank.

Worn Rank

Enter the service member's rank insignia while serving in a particular post.

The default value for this field comes from the Rank field but it can be overwritten. Changes to the Rank field value will also change the value in this field.

Note. To have the system display the worn rank in front of the employee's name at the top of the Personal Data, Job Data, and military pages, you must have Military, Event Manager, and Publish/Subscribe enabled in the system and the Domain status should be active. When a rank is changed on the current row, the event AssignmentMilitaryRankChanged is raised and the Event Manager triggers the handler to update the Names in Personal Data Component.

See PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources PeopleBook: Events and Notifications

Worn Rank Type

Indicate why the individual is on worn rank.

Skill Grade

Select the overall grade level for which the individual has been evaluated

Note. When military rank information is defined for a service member, the system restricts the salary plan to those plans associated with military ranks on the Military Service table. In addition to this, only the salary grades associated with the specified ranks are available. Therefore, the salary defaulting logic does not apply to military users.

Salary Plan

Salary Administration Plan

Displays the salary administration plan code. This field will default from the position number you associated with a person, and is available for entry regardless if you click the Override Position Data button.

If you are not using position management and you associate salary administration plans with locations or job codes, the value that is in this field comes from either the Location or Job Code table, based on setID matching. You can override the default.

Note. If you have salary administration plans associated with more that one of these tables, the system uses the default from the last table value entered. For example, first you enter a location that is associated with salary plan KU02 where this salary plan defaults to this page. Then, you enter a job code that is associated with salary plan KU03, and the system will update the salary plan to KU03.

If you change the location after hire (and a salary plan is defined in the Location table), then the system does not automatically display a default value for this salary plan. Instead, the system checks if the existing grade and step are still valid for this new salary plan. The existing grade and step must also be defined for the new salary plan. If the grade and step are defined for this new salary plan, then the system displays by default from the Location table the value for the new salary plan. If the grade and step are not defined for this new salary plan, then the system does not change to the salary plan from the Location table.

To use auto-calculated premium processing for this person, select a plan that has Auto Calculated Premium selected and an absorbing or nonabsorbing (or both) premium rate code assigned in the Salary Plan table. The system displays auto-calculated-premium-related fields on the Compensation page only if you select an auto-calculated premium plan here.

Note. If this worker has a labor agreement and job code with a wage progression salary plan, the system populates this field by default and makes it unavailable for entry.

Grade

If you associate a grade with the person's position or job code, the system displays the default value from the appropriate table.

Note. If this worker has a labor agreement and job code with a wage progression salary plan, the system populates this field by default and makes it unavailable for entry.

Grade Entry Date

Displays the date on which the person first joined this grade. You can override this value.

Step

If you associate a step with the person's position or job code, the system displays the default value from the appropriate table.

Step Entry Date

Displays the date on which the person first joined this step. You can override this value.

Note. The system verifies the combinations of salary administration plans and grades that you select.

Includes Wage Progression Rule

The system selects this check box if the salary plan includes wage progression.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicEntering Compensation Information

Access the Compensation page (Workforce Administration, Job Information, Add Employment Instance, Compensation).

Compensation Rate

Displays the compensation rate for the person, which is the sum of all base pay salary components.

Frequency

Select a compensation frequency.

Select Contract for contract persons. The system uses the information that you set up on the Contract Pay page to manage the person's compensation.

Note. The Retro Pay functionality in PeopleSoft Enterprise Payroll for North America and PeopleSoft Enterprise Global Payroll is triggered by any frequency or compensation rate change with an effective date that's earlier than or equal to the latest pay end date of a check that is already paid to the person.

Auto Calculated Premium

Target Comprate (target compensation rate)

Enter the compensation rate for the person if the person is being compensated at a rate that exceeds the default salary. Auto calculating premium may be:

Absorbing. Premium decreases when the compensation rate increases over time in order to maintain the target compensation rate.

Non-Absorbing. Premium does not change even when the compensation rate increases over time.

The system calculates the difference between this amount and the original job compensation rate and enters the difference in the premium components (the absorbing or nonabsorbing or both premium rate codes of the salary plan) of the person's compensation package. The system then recalculates the compensation rate with the premium component compensation rate.

If both an absorbing rate code and a nonabsorbing rate code are associated with the salary plan, the absorbing rate code initially receives the full, calculated amount of the difference between the target compensation rate and the originally calculated job compensation rate.

You can then enter some portion of the total calculated premium in the nonabsorbing rate code (in which case the absorbing rate code amount automatically decreases by the same amount so that the target compensation rate remains the same) or delete the nonabsorbing rate code. The system recalculates the job compensation rate, including the premium component compensation rate.

You cannot enter a target compensation rate that is less than the original job compensation rate without the premium components.

This field is available only if the person's salary plan (on the Salary Plan page) has auto-calculated premium enabled.

Don't Absorb Changes

Select to instruct the system to leave absorbable rate codes unchanged if there is a change in the default salary amount.

This option only applies to persons who have a target compensation rate and are assigned to a salary plan with the auto calculated premium function enabled and an absorbing premium defined.

If you don't click this button after updating relevant job data fields, the system issues a warning when you attempt to save the new record. If you click OK, the system displays this page, where you can click this button and make any required changes. If you do not click this button, the component package doesn't appear by default until the next time that the default component logic is triggered (either when you click the button or through a batch update process).

(E&G) Contract Change Prorate Option

Click to access the Contract Pay Prorate Options page, where you choose how to handle contract pay when there is a change to the contract amount. Use this link only when the payment frequency is C (contract).

You can only modify the organizational instance dates when you review this page for the controlling instance.

Note. When you review this page for a non-controlling instance, the system makes the rest of the fields in this group box display only because non-controlling instances inherit the instance dates from the controlling instance.

Original Start Date

Displays the earliest date that this job data record (emplID/ERN instance) was associated with the organization. The date is provided by default from the effective date of the job record with an action of Hire, Add Contingent Worker, or Add POI Instance. This is not the date the job was created in the system, like the Date Created field on the Work Location page. You can override this date to enter an earlier start date, for example if the person has previously worked for the company or an affiliate or, depending upon company policies, for special cases like jobs with probationary periods, mergers and acquisitions, and so on.

See Understanding Employment Information Data.

Last Start Date

Displays the most recent start date for this organization instance. The system populates this field originally with the effective date of the controlling instance's job data row with the action of HIR and then refreshes it with the effective date of job data rows with the actions REH (for employees) or RNW (for contingent workers).

This date is different from the first start date if this organization instance has been inactive and then reactivated.

First Start Date

Displays the first start date for this organization instance. The system populates this field with the effective date of the first job data row with the action of HIR (for employees) or ADD (for contingent workers) from the controlling instance.

Years Months

Displays the worker's highest education level as specified in the Personal Data component. This education level is the starting point for education-level age-related calculations.

(MYS and SGP) Malaysia and Singapore

After you set up festive advance calculation rules and the pay programs, and associated job codes with pay programs, the eligible workers that are in the workforce are granted festive advances. Assigning the festive advance type to the worker occurs during the hire process after you assign the ethnic group, religion, and job code. However, before you accept those defaults, you might still have some issues to resolve. If you decide that any of the worker's festive advance details should be different, change them on this page.

Ethnic Group and Religion

Displays the values that you enter on the Personal Data - Regional page.

Festive Advance Pay Program

Displays the value from the Job Code Table - Job Code Profile page. You can change this default.

FA Holiday Type (festive advance holiday type)

Select a festive advance type. Values are: Chinese New Year, Christmas, Deepavali, Hari Raya, and N/A.

The default value is the festive holiday that is appropriate to the ethnicity or religion that you enter for this person on the Personal Data - Regional page. You can change this selection. If a person chooses not to receive a festive advance, select N/A.

Festive Advance Eligible From

Displays the festive advance eligible from date. If the firm has a probation period that must be served before a worker is entitled to a festive advance, the probation period must be monitored.

When you set the probation period in the Festive Advance Pay Program, you set the number of days or months. The system adds this information to the worker's hire date to determine the festive advance eligible from date; this date appears as the default on the FA Employee Details page.

When you process the festive advances, the system checks the festive advance eligible from date against the date on which to pay the advance. If the festive advance eligible from date is not yet passed, the worker is not paid a festive advance.

Note. This date is used by the festive advance calculation process and the festive advance calculation rule to determine if the worker has served enough time to be eligible for a festive advance. The date is derived from the job commencement date and the probation period in the Festive Advance Pay Program.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicDistributing Job Earnings

Access the Job Earnings Distribution page (click the Earnings Distribution link at the bottom of any page in the Job Data component).

Review these guidelines prior to entering data on the Job Earnings Distribution page:

Standard Hours and Work Period

If you are using position management and click the Override Position Data button, these fields become available. If you change these values on this page, it will also update the same fields on the Job Information page.

Earnings Distribution Type

Select an earnings distribution type. Values are:

  • None: Select to indicate that you don't allocate earnings for this person. The system calculates and charges person compensation according to the information that is listed in the Job Data component. If you select this option, leave the other fields on this page blank.

    Note. You must select None if you want the system to use the proration rule that you select on the Pay Group Table - Paysheets page when prorating partial pay.

    See Understanding Pay Groups.

  • By Amount: Available only for salaried workers. This enables you to apportion the worker's total earnings for a period on the basis of an amount.

    Select to instruct the system to total the amounts that are in the distribution lines and check the total against the total in the Compensation Rate field on the Job Data - Compensation page. The total earnings distribution amount must equal the compensation rate amount. If the amounts are not the same, the system generates an error when you try to save the record. You will need to resolve the discrepancy to save the Job Data record.

    For example, to charge 3,000 of a worker's regular earnings to the worker's regular department (on the job record), 544 to department 105, and 1,000 to department 10503, you set up three distribution lines:

    • On the first line, leave Department blank (so that the system uses the worker's regular department from the job record) and enter 3000 in the Amount field.

    • On the second line, enter 105 in the Department field and 544 in the Amount field.

    • On the third line, enter 10503 in the Department field and 1000 in the Amount field.

    The amounts that are in the distribution lines total 4,544, so the system checks that amount in the Compensation Rate field on the worker's job record equals this total.

  • By Hours: Available only for hourly or exception hourly workers. Select to instruct the system to total the hours that are in the distribution lines and update the total in the Standard Hours field on the Job Data - Job Information page. The Standard Hours field that appears at the top of this page also changes.

    Enables you to apportion the worker's total earnings for a week on an hourly basis. The system totals the hours in all distribution lines and inserts the total in the Standard Hours field on the worker's job record.

    For example, if a worker works a 40-hour week, and you want to charge 30 hours of regular pay to the worker's regular department (on the job record) and 10 hours to department 103, you set up two distribution lines:

    • On the first line, leave Department blank (so that the system uses the worker's regular department (from the job record) and enter 30 in the Standard Hours field.

    • On the second line, enter 103 in the Department field and 10 in the Standard Hours field. The hours that are in the distribution lines total 40, so the system inserts 40 in the Standard Hours field on the worker's job record.

  • By Percent: Available to all workers. The sum of the percentages that are in the distribution lines must equal 100.

    Enables you to apportion the worker's total earnings for a period on a percentage basis.

    For example, to charge 80 percent of regular earnings to the worker's regular department (on the worker's job record) and 20 percent to department 100, set up two distribution lines:

    • On the first line, leave Department blank (so that the system uses the worker's department from the job record) and enter 80 in the Percent field.

    • On the second line, enter 100 in the Department field and 20 in the Percent field.

Paying Workers on Disability

Some workers on disability need to be paid at a given percentage of their regular pay. Handle this situation without changing the worker's salary by setting up a disability plan earnings code in the Earnings table, based on a percentage.

Note. This feature works only for hourly workers, not for salaried workers.

When you enter an action of short-term disability with pay or long-term disability with pay, the system changes the worker's status to leave with pay.

To send 100 percent of the worker's pay to the disability plan earnings code, access the Job Data - Job Earnings Distribution page, select the By Percent option, enter the appropriate disability earnings code, and enter a percent of 100.

Note. When you put a worker on disability, don't forget to check additional pay records and make any necessary changes.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding the Process of Adding Additional Jobs

PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources enables you to keep complete job information about workers who hold more than one job at a time in an organization.

If you set up PeopleSoft Enterprise HRMS security to allow workers to have multiple jobs, you can add an additional assignment to a worker's employment record. Use the Add Additional Assignment component (ADD_PER_ORG_ASGN) in Administer Workforce to add new jobs for workers who already have one or more jobs. From the Add Additional Assignment page (PER_ORG_INST_ASGN), access the Concurrent Job Data component (JOB_DATA_CONCUR) to enter data for the new job. The component consists of the same pages as the Job Data component. If all jobs are within the same company and meet certain criteria, you can combine earnings from multiple jobs on one paycheck if you are using PeopleSoft Enterprise Payroll for North America.

Note. (USF) Use the Concurrent Hire USF component (EE_CONC_HIRE) instead of the Add Additional Assignment component.

Do not use the Add Additional Assignment component for adding temporary assignments where the substantive job must be suspended for the duration of the temporary assignment. Use the Job Data component instead.

Update job data for concurrent jobs on the Job Data component.

In addition to an employment record number, you assign each concurrent job a benefit record number that tracks the worker's participation in benefit programs. Jobs that share the same benefit record number also share the same benefit programs.

The following tables show different ways to assign benefit record numbers in a situation where a worker has three concurrent jobs:

When you add a concurrent job, the system sets the default benefit record number on the Benefit Program Participation page to 0. If you change the benefit record number, the system deselects and repopulates the Benefit Program field with the data attached to the benefit record number that you enter. If the benefit record number that you enter doesn't match any existing benefit record number for the worker, the system populates the Effective Date field with the worker's hire date and the Benefits Program field with the default benefit program for the worker's pay group.

Note. Use the Benefit Program Participation page to maintain benefits program information.

Before you can add multiple jobs for the workforce, you must update the user security so that users have access to the menu options that they need.

When a worker has more than one job, you might want to designate one job as primary and the others as secondary. The primary job designation is used for government reporting.

The SmartHire process, or template-based hires, enables you to expedite the hiring of individuals. Using a template-driven approach, it offers a way to streamline repetitive data entry by reducing the current data entry process through the Personal Data and Job Data pages.

There are three types of users that will facilitate template-based hires:

Note. This section focuses on the records the end user and HR administrator use in the template-based hire process. Template setup by the template administrator is discussed in another chapter.

See Setting Up SmartHire (Template-Based Hires).

To start the template-based hire process, select a pre-configured template. This template will display a simple entry page or multiple data entry pages, depending upon how it was set up. The fields on this page may also be hidden or values will be provided by defaulted, based on how the template was set up by the template administrator. After the hire data is entered it can be either saved directly to the HR system, reviewed by an human resources administrator, or saved for later.

When templates are created by the template administrator, the template status is set to Test (T). After the template is tested and ready for use, the status will need to be changed to Active (A). When you are searching for templates to use in the template-based hire process, the only templates that are available are those with a status of Active (A). End users will only be able to see templates they for which they have row-level security access.

When the data is submitted for processing, the appropriate service-oriented architecture (SOA) or component interface (CI) will be called to process the actual hire. If an error occurs during processing, a line item will be added to the Manage Hires component and a human resources administrator is able to review the data, make corrections, resubmit for processing, or cancel the hire. The human resources administrator will be taken into the Personal Data and the Job Data hire components to complete the hiring process and can modify the data entered by the end user as needed. The components will be pre-populated with the data entered through the template.

Template-Based Hire Process Flow

When hiring a person using the template-based hire feature you will use the following pages:

This diagram illustrates the template-based hire process, during which the user selects an existing person or creates a new person, enters hiring details and person and job information, optionally searches for a match to a person already in the system, and confirms the person data. Depending on the template definition, the confirmed information will either update the database directly, or it will be routed to an HR administrator for review.

Template-based hire process flow includes person and job data entry, optional search for an existing person, and submission of confirmed data

Template-Based Hire

The Draft Hires to Process grid on the Template-Based Hire page displays the people who are in draft status within the hire process. The list of people is filtered based on the operator ID of the person accessing the page. The page will only show the entries that the end user has previously entered using their operator ID. On this page you can delete a person which will delete the person's information.

Enter Hire Details

On the Enter Hire Details page enter basic information for the template. On this page you will enter the:

Note. Depending on how the template administrator has set up the template configuration this information will be display only, visible and editable, or hidden.

Also, for informational purposes, this page will display such information as the:

Enter Employee Information

The Enter Employee Information page is where you will enter name details, home and mailing address details, National ID, and job details. The number of sections and fields on this page are dependent on how the template chosen has been configured by the template administrator.

Person Match Found

The Person Match Found page displays the possible person matches. The match parameters are set up by the template administrator. If a match is found, select the person from the list and the EmplID is carried forward in the hire process. If no match is found, you can continue with the hire process by clicking the Not a Match - Continue with Hire button.

Select an Action

The Select an Action page displays only if a match is found during the search and you are allowed to take some action (defined at the template level). If the user is not allowed to take any action, the page will not display and a Hire Request for the person is sent to the HR administrator.

Confirmation

The Confirmation page displays if the user has successfully saved the data to the system. There are four different messages displayed on the conformation page based on the template level set up and the security access of the user's Operator ID. The confirmation page will display one of the following four messages:

When the data has been confirmed it is stored in the staging tables HR_TBH_HDR and HR_TBH_DATA until the hire process is complete. The HR_TBH_HDR table stores the high-level information, which includes a unique sequence number representing the transaction ID, the template ID, the Operator ID of the user who entered the data, the status representing various stages of the hire process, and the transaction date. The HR_TBH_DATA table stores the record name, field name, and value of the Record/Field with the unique transaction ID. This table is a child of the HR_TBH_HDR table.

The status field on the HR_TBH_HDR may have one of the values displayed in the table below:

Status

DFRT

Draft

The user has begun to enter data but saved to continue later.

SBMT

HIRE

Hired/Added

Once the HR administrator completes the hire process by adding person and job information into the system, the status of the row will change to Hire/Added.

COMP

Completed

Once the row is deleted by the user, the status of the row will change to Completed..

Error Transaction

The Error Transaction page is displayed when the template administrator is testing the template and the test is unsuccessful. This page is also available to the HR Administrator on the Manage Hire Details page. This page will display the template used, the person causing the error, the transaction ID, and the start date. It will also give a description of the error found.

Template Hire Status

The Template Hire Status page displays the persons being processed by the template-based hire process and their status. The list is filtered based on the operator ID of the user. Also, the user has the option of deleting a row.

Note. This page does not show people in draft status. You can only view those individuals currently being processed by the HR department, view those who have been cancelled by the HR department, and those who have been successfully hired. You can remove people from the Cancelled Hires and Processed Hires grids.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicPrerequisite

Template-based hires provide a configurable, template-driven approach, where you can define default data for various sections in the hiring process. You will be able to create templates to meet different user needs by determining to hide or display specific fields. This allows your Human Resources department to decentralize the hiring process out to line managers or human resource representatives in the field.

Prior to hiring persons with templates, a template administrator must set up the templates. The administrator must be a person who is very familiar with the hiring process. When creating a template, the administrator is responsible for determining:

Sections and fields used within templates are delivered as system data. These delivered sections can be modified within your templates to suit your organization's needs for hiring. These sections are located in the Template Section component (Set Up HRMS, Product Related, Workforce Administration, Template-Based Hires, Template Section). A list of delivered template-based hire sections are located in the Setting Up the Administer Workforce Business Process chapter in this PeopleBook.

The labels of the fields on the template sections typically reflect the actual field labels. However, the template administrator can create a text catalog entry for those fields in which they want to change the label.

When the templates are created, the template administrator will assign a category to each template. The category is used for row-level security of the template. This security will restrict end user access to the template. Also, PeopleTools Permission Lists and Roles are used for security purposes.

When templates are similar, the template administrator can clone an existing template to eliminate duplicate entry.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding the CAGED Report

The Cadastro Geral de Empregados e Desempregados – CAGED (General Register of Employed and Unemployed Individuals) is a permanent register of employee hirings and dismissals. Every establishment that has had any type of turnover (hiring, dismissing, or transferring employees who have employment contracts ruled by the Consolidated Labor Laws) is required to report that turnover to the Ministry of Labor and Employment.

The CAGED report generates a file containing the monthly turnover of employees by establishment.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Employee Registration

Employee registration provides evidence of length of service and length of social security contribution and proves the relationship between employee and employer. This information affects social security pensions. Companies must record their employees' data in books or cards.

The employee registry report generates a flat file containing information about the employee's employment data (hire date, retirement date) and contributions. Keep the flat file as a record.

The run control page for the process enables you to search for employees who have been hired or rehired within a given period. You can review and adjust the list of employees before running the process, which creates XML files for transmission to the Dutch Tax Authority. You can view details of the First Day Notifications that have been generated using the Notification Results page.
