System Options Setup

To define default information that applies to the entire system, you set up system options. These options control the types of information that you track and the rules that the system uses to perform specific calculations. For example, you use system options to specify the date that the system will use for tracking changes.

This table describes the types of information that you control with system options:

Information Type	Description
Pay information	To ensure that you enter acceptable pay rates for employees, set up the system to verify appropriate pay types for employee pay grades or pay-grade steps.
Employee history and turnover	To define whether you want to keep historical records of employee information, set up employee history and turnover options. These options are crucial to successful history and turnover tracking.
Recruitment	To automate the process of creating and maintaining requisitions, set up requisition information.
Position control information	To create, monitor, and control position budgets, set up position information.
