Understanding Turnover Record Correction

When employee assignment information changes (such as when an employee changes jobs or moves to a new business unit within your organization), you must update the employee's record to reflect the change. You can set up the system to create turnover records of the information that you change when you update employee records. Turnover records also show employee movement that results from new hires and terminations.

If you enter incorrect employee assignment information, you must reenter the correct information. You should also correct the turnover record so that you can accurately analyze turnover information.

To track turnover for a change, you must enter a change reason and an effective date. The system does not create a turnover record unless you enter a change reason code. You can review turnover records to verify that no duplicate records, incorrect change reason codes, or incorrect effective dates exist.

You can correct both effective date and change reason in the turnover data. If any other information in the turnover record is incorrect, you should delete the entire record. When you correct the information in employee information, the system creates the correct turnover record.

When you enter information for which you are tracking turnover, the system creates a turnover record for each of these data items:

  • Home company (HMCO)

  • Home business unit (HMCU)

  • Job number (JBCD)

  • Check route (MAIL)

When you correct turnover, you must correct the turnover records for each of these data items.

To maintain the accuracy of your historical information, you should correct the corresponding employee history record when you correct turnover records.
