Work Location page (2 of 2)

Field or Control

Description

Military Service

Select the military service in which the person is serving.

Displays when the Military check box is selected on the Installation Table. This field is available if you are adding a new Job Data record, when you are not adding a new Job Data record this field is display only.

Effective Date

Enter the effective date. When you add a new instance with the action of Hire, the effective date that you enter here becomes the hire and original hire date.

Effective Sequence

Enter a number to track multiple administrative actions that occur on the same day. The default value is 0, the correct number for new instances.

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

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

Payroll Status or Job Status

The page displays the Payroll Status text for employee 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.

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

Job Indicator

Indicate whether this is the person's primary or secondary job for this organizational relationship. Select Not Applicable if those selections don't apply to this job. This field is used to process people with more than one organizational instance in a single organizational relationship.

Calculate Status and Dates

Click this button to calculate the person's HR, job, or payroll status and the employment dates so that you can review the changes before you save the component. The system displays this button when you make a change to the effective date or one of the status fields.

You do not need to click this button to refresh the status and date fields. The system will refresh these fields when you save the component.

Maintain/View Notes

Click this icon to access the Job Data Notepad page.

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 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.

When Manage Primary Incumbent is enabled on the Position Management Installation Page, and you made a change to a person’s position, the system issues a warning message about updating the primary incumbent information and recommends reviewing the Manage Primary Incumbents Page. This happens when:

  • An employee is no longer the primary incumbent due to a job data change or has an HR or Payroll status change.

    When an employee leaves the position, the system will use the selection method as defined on the Position Management Installation table to assign a new employee as the primary incumbent.

  • An employee enters a new position and is assigned the primary incumbent role because the position does not currently have a primary incumbent.

The system will also send a push notification to the position administrator to review the Manage Primary Incumbents page. For additional information see Managing Primary Incumbent Information for a Position.

Note: Oracle PeopleSoft delivers Notification Composer Framework to manage the setup and administration of all notifications in one central location.

Once you have adopted the Notification Composer feature, you must use it to create new notifications and manage your existing notifications.

Notifications delivered with HCM Image 47 or later must use Notification Composer.

For more information about Notification Composer Framework, see Understanding Notification Composer.

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.

If you are entering a transaction that returns a person to active status from an inactive status, the system will populate the field with the effective date of that transaction. For example, if you are rehiring a person as of September 1, 2014, the field will update to reflect this rehire date.

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.

Warning! When a position override is selected for the purpose of setting a supervisor ID as manager instead of using the defaulted reports to value by leaving it blank, be aware that approval processes that use partial position management will attempt to resolve the position’s reports to manager from the Position Data table before using the supervisor ID supplied in Job Data. The approval process will route the approval to the reports to manager instead of the supervisor.  

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.

Position Management Record

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) Tax Details Page.

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 Human Resources Management affect the way that default values work throughout the PeopleSoft 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. However, if you are entering a transaction that returns a person to active status from an inactive status, the system will populate the field with the effective date of that transaction. For example, if you are rehiring a person as of September 1, 2014, the field will update to reflect this rehire date.

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 set ID 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 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.

Military

The Military section is available when military is enabled on the Installation Table. Valid values for the service component and component category of the person depend upon the military service you enter at the top of the Work Location page.

See Understanding Identification Assignment.

(JPN) Intercompany Transfer

This region enables you to specify intercompany transfer (shukkou) data for Japan. Enter information about the company and department that the person is transferring to or from in the appropriate group box, Internal Company or External Company. Values for the External Company group box are set up on the Set Up Company/Dept Codes and Set Up Supervisor Level Codes pages.

Field or Control

Description

Intercompany Transfer Flag

Specify whether the data that you enter on the page is home or host company information. The system uses this value in conjunction with intercompany transfer-related action or action reason codes to check the validity of the entries. Values are:

  • Home Company Information: Select if another company's worker joins the company in an intercompany transfer.

  • Host Company Information: Select if one of the workers is on intercompany transfer to another company.

Select the blank value at the top of the list to remove all entries.

Company

Select the home or host company. The home or host company ID is a prompt value from the Company component (for internal company transfers) and the Set Up Company/Dept Codes page (for external company transfers).

Business Unit

Select the home or host business unit for internal company transfers only. Your entry in this field controls the Department and Supervisor Level field values in the Internal Company group box due to setID functionality for business units.

Department

Select the home or host department. The home or host department ID is a prompt value from the Departments component (for internal company transfers) and the Set Up Company/Dept Codes page (for external company transfers).

Field or Control

Description

Job Code

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

If you haven't assigned the person to a position, select the job code for this person.

Note: If you are attaching this person to a labor agreement on the Job Labor page and that labor agreement is associated with job codes, you must select a job code that is valid for the labor agreement.

PeopleSoft Payroll for North America uses this field to create a pay line on a person's paysheets. The system creates a pay earnings record for each active job code on the person's employment record.

See Job Codes Page.

Entry Date

When you leave the Job Code field, the system displays the date on which the person is first assigned to this job code. However, if you are entering a transaction that returns a person to active status from an inactive status, the system will populate the field with the effective date of that transaction. For example, if you are rehiring a person as of September 1, 2014, the field will update to reflect this rehire date. If you are using position management, this field is unavailable for entry, unless you click the Override Position Data button on the Work Location page.

Supervisor Level

Supervisor levels are a class of position that represent levels of some managerial or supervisory significance and can be used as another type of employee identifier.

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

If you did not assigned the person to a position, select the supervisor level code for this person, if applicable.

See Defining Additional Employment Setup Data.

Supervisor ID

When using full Position Management, this field is unavailable. The system will use the Reports To field, which the position provides by default.

When using partial or no Position Management, this field is available, however, the system will not allow you to save the page when there are values in both the Supervisor ID and Reports To fields. If you want to enter a supervisor ID when using partial Position Management and a person is assigned to a position, click the Override Position Data button on the Work Location page to enable the Reports To field and remove the value that is provided from the position number.

If you have not assigned the person to a position and you assigned a manager ID to a department in the Department table, a default supervisor ID appears.

If you did not designate a manager ID on the Department table, enter a supervisor ID here, if applicable.

Note: Specify the person's department code before you enter a new supervisor ID. If you enter a supervisor ID before you select a department code, the system overrides the ID each time that you enter or change the person's department.

Reports To

Displays the position number, title, and name of the manager associated with this position. When the Manage Primary Incumbent functionality is enabled on the Position Management Installation Page, a View Current Incumbents link will appear instead of the Reports To manager’s name.

If you have specified a reports to number for the position you associated with this person, the system enters the default value and this field is unavailable for entry, unless you click the Override Position Data button.

Warning! When a position override is selected for the purpose of setting a supervisor ID as manager instead of using the defaulted reports to value by leaving it blank, be aware that approval processes that use partial position management will attempt to resolve the position’s reports to manager from the Position Data table before using the supervisor ID supplied in Job Data. The approval process will route the approval to the reports to manager instead of the supervisor.  

If you have not assigned the person to a position and you assigned a reports to ID to a department in the Department table, a default reports to ID appears.

If you did not designate a reports to ID on the Department table, enter a reports to ID here, if applicable.

View Current Incumbent link

This link appears when you have enabled Manage Primary Incumbents on the Position Management Installation Page, the Reports To field is populated, and incumbents have been assigned to this Reports To position.

Click this link to access the Current Incumbents Page to view the incumbents for the Reports To position.

When there are no incumbents assigned to this Reports To position, the page will issue a message stating that there are no current incumbents to view.

Regular/Temporary

Defaults from the position number you associated with this person, and this field is unavailable for entry, unless you click the Override Position Data button.

If you have not assigned the person to a position, the system displays the default value from the Job Code Table. You can override this value.

Full/Part

Defaults from the position number you associated with this person, and this field is unavailable for entry, unless you click the Override Position Data button.

If you have not assigned the person to a position, indicate whether the worker is full-time or part-time.

Note: The Manage Base Benefits business process uses the values that you select in the Regular/Temporary and Full/Part fields to determine eligibility requirements.

PeopleSoft Payroll for North America uses the full-time or part-time information in conjunction with the holiday schedule. When a holiday falls within a pay period, Payroll for North America prorates the holiday hours for part-time workers. However, proration is based on the standard hours for the worker, not for the pay group.

Empl Class (employee class)

Select an employee class, which provides another method of grouping workers. Examples may include Assignee, Expatriate, or Intern. Employee classes are included in the Employee Labor Classification table. To override, access this page in correction mode.

The list of values depends on the regulatory region that is specified on the Work Location page and the setID values entered in the Employee Labor Classification component.

Note: (CHN) Select the Regular/Temporary field value first and then select the corresponding Empl Class value to enable the company to sort employees correctly. If you select the Regular/Temporary value of Regular, then you should leave theEmpl Class field empty. Normal global payroll taxes will be calculated for the employee. (If you select Regular for Regular/Temporary and Instructor for Empl Class, you can still save the data, but the company will be unable to sort employees correctly or calculate the correct employee number.) If you select Temporary for the Regular/Temporary value, then you can select any of the Empl Class values (Consultant, Contractor, Instructor, Intern, or Others). Remuneration services tax will be calculated in this case.

(GBR) The Northern Ireland Fair Employment Monitoring report (UKNI001) uses the employee class to determine the classification of workers. If the organization submits this report, you must use the required employee classes for the report to work correctly.

(JPN) Select Host ICT (Hosting Intercompany Transfer) to flag those workers that are hired on an intercompany transfer basis when the company is the host company.

See Understanding U.K. Regulatory Requirements.

Officer Code

Identify highly compensated workers for the Non-Discrimination Testing - 401(k)/401(m) report (NDT004). The default value is None.

Regular Shift

Defaults from the position number you associated with this person, and this field is unavailable for entry, unless you click the Override Position Data button.

If the worker is working shifts, select the appropriate shift. If the worker doesn't work shifts, leave the Shift Rate and Factor fields blank. The default value is N/A (not applicable).

Shift Rate andShift Factor

If you selected the Specified at Employee level option on the Shift table, enter the shift differential for this worker and job.

Enter the shift differential as a rate (flat amount), a factor (percentage), or both. Use the first field to enter a flat amount and the second field to enter a percentage.

Note: To apply the same shift differential to a group of workers who work the same shift, enter shift information in the Shift table in Payroll for North America. If you specify the differential on the Shift table, the system does not use shift rate information from Job data.

See Understanding HCM Information Used in the Payroll Process and Understanding Tables That Support the Payroll Process.

Classified Ind (classified indicator)

Associate the position with an FTE Classification (full time equivalents classification) that you established on the Department Budget FTE page. This field is visible only for departments that have been set up to use commitment accounting. Departments are configured to use commitment accounting on the Comm. Acctg and EG page in the Department component.

Duties Type

For jobs where the action or reason is temporary assignment, select the type of duties for the temporary assignment from the Temporary Duties Type table. You can use this feature only if the Automatic Job Suspension check box is selected on the Installation Table - Product Specific page.

Encumbrance Override

Select to override encumbrance processing at the job level when you create a new organizational instance or add a concurrent job for a worker date if the department uses Commitment Accounting.

Standard Hours

The standard hours fields defaults from the position number you associated with this person, and these fields are unavailable for entry, unless you click the Override Position Data button. If you have not assigned the person to a position or click the Override Position Data and change the job code, then the system populates the fields by default from the job code. You can override the defaults.

Field or Control

Description

Standard Hours

Displays by default the standard hours for the worker. Change the default value, if required.

Work Period

Select a standard work period, the time period during which workers must complete the standard hours.

The system uses the annualization factor of the standard work period in combination with the standard hours to calculate full-time equivalency.

FTE (full-time equivalency)

Displays the percentage of full-time work that the worker should normally work in this job. The system calculates this value based on the standard hours entry for this job and the standard work period. However, you can override the system-calculated FTE and enter any value. The system issues a warning if you enter a value that is greater than 1.0.

Combined Std Hours/FTE (combined standard hours/full-time equivalent)

Displays the total standard hours that are assigned to the worker for all active jobs combined and the worker's total FTE status for all active jobs combined.

For example, if a worker holds two jobs, one as a professor with an FTE of .5 and one as a physician with an FTE of .35, the worker's combined FTE is .85 (.5 + .35 ). You can't change or delete this information.

Note: The combined FTE that appears here may be different from the total FTE that is calculated for benefits administration eligibility. Combined FTE on this page is the sum of a worker's individual FTEs from active jobs only.

Contract Number

Field or Control

Description

Contract Number or Next Contract Number

Select the worker's contract number or click the Next Contract Number to associate a contract with a person, if applicable.

Note: Existing contracts that have a value in the End Date field (the system displays this field on the prompt page) are not valid selections. The system populates the contract end date when the contract is terminated. If you know when the contract will end, enter the date in the Contract Expected End Date on the Contract Status/Content page.

Note: (ESP and FRA) This is a required field when the action is hire, rehire, or transfer for workers who belong to a Spanish or French regulatory region. View the prompt values in the Contract Number field to view all active contracts for that worker. If the worker has no active contracts in the system, click the Next Contract Number button; the system assigns a new contract number. When you save, the system warns you that you must update the contract information for the new contract number that is automatically created for this worker. Access the Contract Data component using the new contract number, and make the necessary updates.

Note: (BRA) When you enter a contract number and saves the page, a PeopleCode is run to populate the contract type on the (BRA) Additional Contract Data Page for the worker based on these scenarios:

If a contract number is specified and the contract type is populated, the system takes the contract type and identifies the associated legal contract type that is set up on the Legal Contract Type Page of the Legal Contract Type component.

If no contract number is specified, or if a contract number is specified but the contract type is not available, the system takes the employee class from the Job Information page, and identifies the associated legal contract type that is set up on the By Employee Classification Page of the Legal Contract Type component.

The identified legal contract type is then populated to the Additional Contract Data page as the contract type.

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.

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.

Description

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 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.

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.

Compensation page

Field or Control

Description

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 Payroll for North America and PeopleSoft Global Payroll is triggered by any frequency or compensation rate change with an effective date that is earlier than or equal to the latest pay end date of a check that is already paid to the person. Also for Retro Pay, the Frequency here cannot be hourly. It must be weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly, or a frequency that reflects a pay period amount.

Auto Calculated Premium

Field or Control

Description

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.

Field or Control

Description

Organizational Instance Rcd (organizational instance record)

The number of the instance associated with this job data record. The organizational instance record number is the same as the ERN of the controlling instance.

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 Job 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.

The system uses this date as the hire date in reports.

Note: The system does not refresh this date again unless you enter a new row in the controlling instance with one of these actions. You would normally not do this unless you needed to reset the hire date.

Termination Date

Displays the effective date of the controlling instance's job data row with the action of TER or COM, if applicable.

If you rehire or renew a person's controlling instance, the system deselects this field.

Org Instance Service Date (organizational instance service date) and Override

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.

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.

Job Earnings Distribution page

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

  • Skip this page if you don't need to distribute standard earnings for the person.

    Payroll for North America uses the department, job code, account, shift, position number, and general ledger type that you enter on the Work Information and Payroll pages to calculate pay earnings records.

  • The system hides this page when all job rows in the component use PeopleSoft Global Payroll.

    However, if any job row has another payroll system (for example, PeopleSoft Payroll for North America or Payroll Interface), then the system displays the page.

  • Don't use this page to distribute special earnings, such as holiday pay or bonuses; instead, use the processes in PeopleSoft Payroll for North America for handling special earnings.

  • If you enter a parameter such as department on this page, the parameter overrides the same field on the job record.

    If you leave a parameter blank, the system uses the field from the job record.

Field or Control

Description

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.
