Business Unit and Job Cross-References

In some cases, you might need to override default job information for all of the employees who work in a specific business unit. In this case, you can set up a cross-reference table for the job ID and business unit. For example, assume this scenario:

• Your organization has 5000 machinists.

• Of those machinists, 4,500 work in business unit 5, union 1000, and benefit group 100.

• The remaining 500 machinists work in business unit 6, union 1100, and benefit group 200.

To streamline the process of entering job information for employees, you can enter union 1000 and benefit group 100 when you define the job machinist, and then set up a cross-reference table for the machinists in business unit 6.

When you enter an employee record for a machinist who is in a business unit other than business unit 6, the system applies the union and benefit group from the job information. When you enter an employee record for a machinist who is in business unit 6, the system uses the information in the cross-reference table to apply the correct union, benefit group, and workers compensation information to that employee record.
