Assigning a Promotion Probation Period

You assign a promotion probation period to an employee only when you are setting up a grade promotion that implies a corps change.

To set up a grade promotion that implies a corps change:

1. Access the Career - Overall Data page in the Increment Step/Promotion FPS component and insert a new row. Use Grade Promotion as the action.

   Note: Although Grade Promotion is the most common action in this situation, you can use any action you choose after Career Data Authorized is checked and Grade/Step is selected on the FPS Action page of the Actions component (Set Up HCM > Product Related > Workforce Administration).

2. Access the Career - Classification page in the Increment Step/Promotion FPS component.

3. Select the Trainee check box to indicate that the employee is beginning a probation period.

   This check box appears only for employees who are not trainees.

4. Set the probation period to In Progress.
