Several collective processes are associated with career data:

  • Seniority calculation.

  • Automatic step increment date calculation.

  • Probation period management.

  • Reclassification process.

  • Retroactivity process.

See Understanding Seniority and Length of Service.

Use the Entry Seniority Catg/Body/Grd (entry seniority category, body, and grade) page (FPAEECAREER_SEC) to record seniority that has been earned in another organization or during military service.

Image: Entry Seniority Catg/Body/Grd page

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Entry Seniority Catg/Body/Grd page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Entry Seniority Catg/Body/Grd page

You can record seniority that was earned in another organization or during military service. Enter the category, corps, and grade entry seniority only if they imply a category, corps, or grade change.

Note: A change of category implies a change of corps. A change of corps implies a change of grade.

When capturing each seniority at entry, the system checks that:

  • Total seniority at entry in all corps in a category is lower than or equal to the seniority at entry in the category.

  • Total seniority at entry in all grades in a corps is lower than or equal to the seniority at entry in the corps.

The different seniority levels entered on this page does not add to or substitute for credited seniority in a step. Thus, they are not considered in the advancement process. However, they are integrated into the criteria considered when listing promotable employees.

When saving a new action, the system:

  • Overrides the Expected Advancement Date field from the previous row with the actual end date provided by the new action.

    The end date equals the next move effective date, minus 1 day.

  • Selects the Instance Terminated check box in the prior row.

    A move is terminated as soon as it is followed by another move.

  • Selects the Step Terminated check box in the previous row unless the last move that was inserted is an action that authorizes Previous Instance Seniority Carry Over.

    Seniority carryover is defined in the Previous Instance Sen Carry Ov field on the FPS Actions page (Set Up HCM > Product Related > Workforce Administration > Workforce Data FPS > Actions).

You can delete an action that is specifically recorded in the Career component. When you do this, the system checks for consistency. For instance, when you delete a step increment action, the system checks that a seniority bonus that is associated with the step has not been granted. If it has, the system issues a warning message. You must then delete the seniority bonus before deleting the step increment.

To do this, use the Delete Career Data FPS (FPAEEDELCAREER_PNL) component.

Use the Prior Career History FPS page (FPAEEHISTCARE_PNL) to enter and view an employee's previous duties, seniority, and employers.
