Defining Groups of Workers to Layoff or Recall

To define groups of workers to layoff or recall, use the Labor Group Definition component (HR_LBR_GRP_DEFN).

This topic discusses how to define groups and group members, and how to define group security.

Note: You can also access the Labor Group Definition component from a link on the Layoff Roster Setup page or Recall Roster Setup page.

Note: You can also create groups using the Group Build - Group Definition component but the groups must include a single, valid labor agreement as a part of the definition for them to be valid selections on the Layoff Roster component (HR_LAYOFF_ROSTER) and the Recall Roster component (HR_RECALL_ROSTER). Groups are not used with the Reinstatement Roster component (HR_REINST_ROSTER).

Event Type

Select the type of event in which this group will be used:

  • Select Layoff to include only workers with an HR status of Active in your group definition.

  • Select Recall to include workers with an HR status of either Active or Inactive. This enables you to include workers who have been laid off (HR status of Active) or terminated (HR status of Inactive) in your recall group.
As of Date

Only bargaining units, labor agreements, labor facilities, and job codes active as of this date are available on this page.
Bargaining Unit

Select the bargaining unit that you are using to define this group. The system will display the labor agreement, and its contract dates, associated with this unit in the Labor Agreement grid.

Note: You must select a bargaining unit associated with a labor agreement since the layoff, recall, and reinstatement processes use the information you set up on the labor agreement.

See Setting Up Bargaining Units.
Labor Facility ID

Select the ID of the labor facility you are using to define this group. Leave this field blank to include people in all the facilities.

The system will populate the options with the labor facilities assigned to the labor agreements associated with the selected bargaining unit.

See Setting Up Labor Agreement Control Tables.
Job Code and Include

The system displays the job codes associated with the labor agreements. Select the Include check box next to those job codes you want to include in this group definition.

See Job Codes Page.

Labor Group Security page

Only people who have security access to this group can create layoff, recall, or reinstatement rosters for this group. The system automatically adds the name of the user who creates the group.

The group security access you grant on this page overrides the data permission security associated with a user's Row Security Permission List. For example, a user who does not have row security access to Department 604CAN but that is added to this list for a group that contains people in Department 604CAN will be able to view the data of those people in the layoff, recall, and reinstatement rosters.
