Completing the ERE Procedure

After you have defined and processed your ERE data and generated the required reports, there are some additional steps you must take to complete the ERE procedure.

Permanent ERE

To complete the ERE procedure for employees affected by permanent ERE:

    On the AFI Data Details page, enter a Vacation Not Taken End Date. This date varies for each employee based on the number of pending vacation days that the employee has at the time of termination.

  2. Using the Create AFI File ESP component, run the Create AFI File ESP (SOCS_AFI_ESP) process to generate an AFI flat file for the terminated employees.

  3. Using the Calculate Absence and Payroll page, run the payroll process for the terminated employees and confirm that they received the correct amount for the INDMNCN earning on the Earnings and Deductions page.
