Setting Up Labor Administration Data

This chapter lists common elements and discusses how to:

Define seniority dates.
Set up layoff and recall control tables.
Set up labor agreement control tables.
Define labor agreements.
Set up Labor Administration disciplinary, grievance, and resolution classifications.

Defining Seniority Dates

To define seniority dates, use the Seniority Fields component (HR_SNRTY_FLDS_DEFN), Seniority Dates component (HR_SNR_DATE_TBL), and Tie Breakers component (HR_TIEBREAK_TBL).

This section provides an overview of seniority dates and discusses how to:

Review the PeopleSoft system dates that are available for Manage Labor Administration seniority.
Define seniority dates for Manage Labor Administration.
Define tie breakers.

Understanding Seniority Dates

PeopleSoft calculates and displays a number of seniority dates on the Job Data - Employment Data page (EMPLOYMENT_DTA1). These fields are used throughout PeopleSoft Enterprise HRMS for various features (such as Benefits), but, since seniority rules can vary from labor agreement to labor agreement, they are not used for labor administration processing.

Instead, use the Seniority Dates page (HR_SNR_DATE_TBL) to define the seniority dates required to comply the labor agreements in effect at your organization. Associate the seniority dates with labor agreements on the Labor Agreements component (HR_LABOR_AGRMNT). The system displays the seniority dates associated with a person's labor agreement on the Job Data - Job Labor page (JOB_LABOR).

Examples of seniority dates you may want to create are:

Seniority date for providing workers with employment rights.
Seniority date providing workers with the ability to exercise preferences such as bidding on shifts and overtime.

You can create seniority date types using existing system dates so that the system will insert the values from the existing fields into the seniority date you create. You can also create seniority dates to update and maintain manually. Maintain the dates for workers on the Job Data - Job Labor page.

Use seniority dates as sort criteria for the:

Seniority List report
Candidate List report
Reinstatement roster
Layoff roster
Recall roster

Tie Breakers

In the event that two workers are tied for seniority, you will need to apply a tie breaker that is in accordance with the workers' labor agreement. Define tie breaker types that are based on information in the system, such as birth date or national identification number, on the Tie Breakers page (HR_TIEBREAK_TBL) and associate them with labor agreements on the Labor Agreement component. Use tie breakers as sort criteria for the:

Seniority List report
Candidate List report
Reinstatement roster
Layoff roster
Recall roster

Note. For lottery-style tie breakers, where the unions decide the seniority order, you can manually change people's ranking on the roster by changing their rank number accordingly.

Label

Enter the label to appear next to this date field on the Job Data - Job Labor page.

Default From Existing Field

Select if this field's value defaults from an existing PeopleSoft system field. When you select this check box, the system makes the Record and Field fields available for entry.

Date From Existing Field

Record and Field

Select the record and field you want to use.

For example, to create a seniority date called Dept Entry that uses the Department Entry Date value from the Work Location page as a seniority date, select the JOB record and the DEPT_ENTRY_DT field. The system will display the Dept Entry seniority date on the Job Labor Workers page and automatically populate it with the date from the Department Entry Date field on the Work Location.

The system only makes those records and fields displayed on the Seniority Date Fields page available on this page.

Allow Edits

Select to make the field available for entry on the Job Labor page, enabling you to override the default value.

Setting Up Tie Breakers

Setting Up Layoff and Recall Control Tables

To set up layoff and recall control tables, use the Layoff Exemption Reasons component (HR_LAY_EXEM_TBL), Recall Expiration Rules component (HR_RCL_EXP_TBL), Employee Roster Status component (HR_LBR_EEST_TBL) and Recall Reason component (HR_RCL_RSN_TBL).

This section discusses how to set up:

Layoff exemption reasons.
Recall expiration rules.
Employee roster statuses.
Recall reasons.

Understanding Recall Rights

Workers that have been bumped to a lower level job or workers that were laid off can have rights for vacant positions. Labor agreements specify how long after being bumped or laid off a worker can have rights to reemployment and what circumstances might terminate their recall rights.

For example, workers under labor agreement ABC and who have been with the company for four or more years have first rights on any new vacancies in the organization for twelve months following a layoff while workers who have been with the company for less than four years have recall rights that expire after six months. Recall rights for workers may be terminated in the event that they refuse an offer of reemployment from the company.

Pages Used to Set Up Layoff and Recall Control Tables

Page Name	Object Name	Navigation	Usage
Layoff Exemption Reasons	HR_LAY_EXEM_TBL	Set Up HRMS, Product Related, Workforce Administration, Labor Administration, Layoffs and Recalls, Layoff Exemption Reasons, Layoff Exemption Reasons	Create reasons a worker could be exempt from layoff. Attach these reasons to workers on the Job Labor page. The system does not include workers who are exempt from layoffs in the group population when you generate a layoff.
Recall Expiration Rules	HR_RCL_EXP_TBL	Set Up HRMS, Product Related, Workforce Administration, Labor Administration, Layoffs and Recalls, Recall Expiration Rules, Recall Expiration Rules	Set up rules to govern the expiration of recall rights. Attach recall expiration rules to a labor agreement.
Employee Roster Status Table	HR_LBR_EEST_TBL	Set Up HRMS, Product Related, Workforce Administration, Labor Administration, Layoffs and Recalls, Employee Roster Status, Employee Roster Status Table	Define the statuses you need to manage your roster during a layoff or recall. Assign people roster statuses on the Layoff, Recall or Reinstatement Roster List pages.
Recall Reason Table	HR_RCL_RSN_TBL	Set Up HRMS, Product Related, Workforce Administration, Labor Administration, Layoffs and Recalls, Recall Reason, Recall Reason Table	Define reasons for allocating workers with recall rights.

Setting Up Recall Expiration Rules

Access the Recall Expiration Rules page.

Note. The system determines that a recall right has expired when the defined expiry date is less than current system date.

Recall Expiration Rule

Select By

Select one of the following options:

Seniority

Select if the recall expiration date is calculated using seniority as determined by a seniority date.

Note. If a recall expiration rule is based on a seniority date and this date is blank for a person, then the system will not create automatic recall rights for the worker. You will have to enter rights manually on the Maintain Recall Rights page (HR_RCL_RIGHTS).
Layoff Date

Select if the recall expiration date is calculated from the layoff date.
No Recall

Select if there is no recall.

Note. You must set up at least one recall expiration rule with no recall because the Recall Expiration Rule field on the Seniority Rules page (HR_LABOR_AGRDEFN3) is a required field. If a labor agreement has no predetermined rules around recall rights processing then attach a No Recall type rule to the labor agreement. When a layoff is processed for workers in covered by a labor agreement with a No Recall rule, the system will not create automatic recall rights those candidates being laid off. The Recall/ Reinstatement process will also not process recall rights for candidates covered by a labor agreement with a No Recall recall expiration rule.

Rule Details for Seniority Based Recall Expiration Rules

Enter multiple Rule Details rows to create different recall expiry periods for different seniority categories.

Seq Nbr	Enter the sequence in which the system should process this rule detail.
Seniority Date ID	Select the ID of the seniority date you want the rule to use to calculate seniority for the purpose of recall for this rule detail line.
Operand	Select the operation symbol.
Period	Enter a number in the preceding field and then select the period of time it refers to. For example, enter 1 in the preceding field and Years in this field to indicate that the period of seniority is one year.
Recall Period	Enter a number in the preceding field and then select the period of time it refers to. For example, enter 6 in the preceding field and Months in this field to indicate that recall rights expire after six months for workers with this seniority range.

Rule Details for Layoff Date Based Recall Expiration Rules

Period

Enter a number in the preceding field and then select the period of time it refers to. For example, enter 6 in the preceding field and Months in this field to indicate that recall rights expire six months after layoff.

Setting Up Employee Roster Statuses

Access the Employee Roster Status Table page.

Event Type

Select whether the status is for a Layoff or Recall event. Recall events also apply to Reinstatements.

Process Event?

Select so that when you process the layoff, recall, or reinstatement processes the system will process people with this status and insert a new job data record for the event.

For example, create a status called Layoff Accepted and select the Process Event? check box for the status. When you assign Layoff Accepted to a person on a layoff roster and then process the layoff, the system will insert a new job data record for the person processing their layoff.

Event Complete?

Select if this status indicates the completion of the event on the roster. You should only select this check box for two Employee Roster Statuses: one for an event type of Layoff and one for an event type of Recall.

When workers are successfully processed using the Layoff (HR_LAY_EXEC) or Recall or Reinstatement processes (HR_REIN_EXEC), the system reads the relevant Event Complete? value from this page and sets all processed workers to this status to prevent them from being reprocessed.

Setting Up Labor Agreement Control Tables

To set up labor agreement control tables use the Labor Job Classes component (HR_LBR_JOB_CLS_TBL) and Labor Facilities component (HR_LBR_FAC_TBL).

Before you can set up labor agreements you need to define labor job classes and labor facilities. This section discusses how to set up:

Labor job classes.
Labor facilities.

Working Hours

Enter the annual number of working hours as agreed upon by the labor agreement.

Vacation Period

Define the vacation period as agreed upon by the labor agreement. You have the option of defining the vacation period in Months, Natrl Days (natural days), Weeks, or Work Days.

Natural days are like calendar days. They include weekends and holidays.

Work days are like regular working days. They do not include weekends and holidays. For example, let's say that an employee's regular work days are Monday through Friday, and the employee is entitled to 23 work days of vacation, as defined in the employee's labor agreement. The employee can take a vacation from July 1 to July 31, using 23 work days. This is calculated as 4 weeks x 5 work days plus 3 more work days.

Additional PTO (additional paid time off)

Enter the amount of additional PTO (dias moscosos), if it applies to the labor agreement. Depending on the conditions of the labor agreement, an employee may or may not carry an additional PTO balance from one year to the next. Sometimes, if an employee does not use additional PTO within the current year, the employee will lose those days. Other times, it is possible to carry additional PTO balances to the next year.

(IND) India

Union Code	Select the appropriate Union Code. This is defined in the Unions component.
Management Representation ID	Enter the employee ID of the management representative to the union. This field should not be left empty if a Union Code is entered.

Assigning Job Codes to Labor Agreements

Access the Job Codes page.

The system uses the information you enter on this page to:

Validate the assigned job code with the assigned labor agreement on the Job Data pages.

Select a Labor Job Class and then choose the job codes that fall under that class for this labor agreement.

Note. If you enter job codes for this labor agreement on this page, you can only assign workers in this labor agreement (assigned on the Job Labor page) to one of those job codes. The system will not let you save the Job Data record if the job code is not valid with the labor agreement.

See Adding Organizational Instances for Employees, Contingent Workers, and POIs.
Rank job codes in this labor agreement to manage bumping rights in the event of a layoff.

Note. The management of bumping rights is a manual process. Use the Bumping report, which provides the details from the Job Code Assignment page as well as a history of a worker's job information, to help you manage bumping.

See Running the Bumping Report.
Assign employee categories to the job codes in this labor agreement to create wage tiers.
Assign the salary plan and grade you want to assign to people on the Job Data - Salary Plan page (JOB_DATA_SALPLAN).

The system will use these default values for people with this job code and labor agreement combination instead of the default values from the Location (LOCATION_TABLE) or Job Code components (JOB_CODE_TBL).

See Managing Wage Progression.

See Entering Salary Plan Information.

See Using Wage Progression with Administer Compensation.

Note. You can take advantage of none, one, or any combination of these features.

Labor Job Class

Select a class of jobs to identify the job codes selected in the Job Codes group box. Use this value to manage layoff bumping hierarchies.

See Setting Up Labor Agreement Control Tables.

Click to display the Add by Job Code page. Search for job codes by Job Code SetID and Job Family and select those job codes you want to add to the Job Codes grid for this Labor Job Class.

See Setting Up Jobs.

Job Codes

Click the Business Units that use these Job Codes to view the business units that use the job codes you've selected in the Job Codes grid. When you create a Job Data record for a worker covered by this labor agreement, ensure that you select the appropriate business unit to enable you to assign them to one of these job codes.

Bumping Sequence	Enter the job code's position in the bumping sequence. The sequence defines a worker's place in the bumping hierarchy. Bumping is the practice of allowing a worker with more seniority to replace a junior worker in another department or job as long as the senior worker is qualified.
Job Code SetID and Job Code	Select the SetID and job code. Note. You can only add a job code to a labor agreement once for a selected Labor Job Class unless you select an Employee Category as an additional qualifier. See Classifying Jobs.
Employee Category	If you are using tiered wage assignment, select the employee category for this job code. This enables you to list a job code more than once and to assign different salary plans for different classes of workers. For example, if pilots hired prior to 1990 are on one pay plan while all those hired later are on another, create two employee categories to distinguish between these two groups on the Labor Agreement Categories page. Enter two rows with the pilot job code, assign one the pre-1990 employee category and the other the post-1990 category and then assign the appropriate salary plan for each row. See Defining Labor Agreement Categories.
Salary SetID, Salary Plan, and Grade	Select a salary plan (with SetID) and grade to associate with this job code and labor agreement. The system will assign this salary plan and grade on the Job Data - Salary Plan page when you assign a worker to this job labor agreement and job code. See Entering Salary Plan Information. See Using Wage Progression with Administer Compensation.

Assigning Seniority Rules and Tie Breakers

Access the Seniority Rules page.

Recall Expiration Rule ID

Select the recall expiration rule to associate with this labor agreement. The system will determine recall rights of workers assigned to this labor agreement using this rule.

If the labor agreement does not have any predetermined rules about the expiration of recall rights, select a No Recall recall expiration rule. The layoff, reinstatement, and recall processes do not create recall rights for workers in a labor agreement with a No Recall recall expiration rule.

See Setting Up Recall Expiration Rules.

Seniority Dates

Select the seniority dates associated with this labor agreement. When you assign a worker to this labor agreement, the system will display the seniority date fields you select here on the Job Labor page. On the Job Labor page, if the dates default from an existing field, the system will populate them with the value from the existing field. Only the seniority dates that you associate with this labor agreement are available for selection in the layoff and recall rosters, and seniority or candidate list reports for this labor agreement.

See Setting Up Seniority Dates.

Tie Breakers

Select the tie breakers associated with this labor agreement. In cases where more than one worker has the same length of seniority, you can use one of the selected tie breakers to determine priority. The tie breakers you associate with this labor agreement are the only ones available on layoff or recall roster, or when running a seniority or candidate list report for this labor agreement.

See Setting Up Tie Breakers.

Assigning Facilities

Access the Facilities page.

Facilities

Assign facilities to this labor agreement to enable you to categorize workers by facilities, in addition to other methods of grouping, such as by job code, department, and location. Facilities enable you to define groups for layoff and recalls or on the seniority or candidate list reports.

Note. If you enter labor facility IDs for this labor agreement on this page, you can only select from those facilities when you assign a worker to this labor agreement on the Job Labor page.

See Setting Up Labor Agreement Control Tables.

See Entering National Labor Agreement Data.

Defining Labor Agreement Categories

Access the Labor Agreement Categories page.

Labor agreement categories are used on the Labor Agreement - Job Codes page for administering tiered wage assignments for a job code. You must have set up a labor agreement before you can create a labor agreement category. Create and save the labor agreement, create the labor agreement categorizations, and then return to the Labor Agreement component to update the Job Code page. Employee categories are assigned to workers on the Job Data - Job Labor page.

Note. You do not need to set up labor categories if your organization does not use tiered pay plans.

See Entering National Labor Agreement Data.

Category

Enter the category name. Categories can be used to create tiered pay rate on the Labor Agreement - Job Codes page.

Each labor agreement has its own categories, subcategories, and naming conventions. For example, the French Collective Labor Agreement KFO1 (which is for Civil Engineering) classifies employees in three categories: CAD (for Executive), ETAM (for Manager), and OUV (for Workman). In Germany, use categories, such as Blue Collar Worker or White Collar Worker.

Note. When you set up new employee categories, remember that PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources reserves categories starting with zero for use as system data.

Sequence

Use to number the categories in the order the system should process them.

(ESP) Spain
