Understanding Employee Status Change

Changing an Employee's Status, one of the applications within Manager's Workbench (P08712), provides a centralized approach to implementing common changes for employees who report to you or to one of your subordinate managers. Using this approach, you can manage some of the most common types of employee changes with a minimum of time and effort.

Using this approach, when you select the type of change desired for a specified employee and implement a change, the system automatically notifies your HR department and any other managers who must approve the change. You will also be able to review the status of the approvals to stay current with the changes that you have initiated.

You can perform any of these preset tasks:

• Promote an employee.

• Change an employee's job status.

• Relocate an employee.

• Change an employee department or supervisor.

• Review a leave of absence.

In addition to the five preset tasks listed previously, two additional options exist that you can define in user-defined code (UDC) 08/S4 to meet your specific requirements. For example, you might define this option to change an employee's salary. Working with your HR administrator, you can set up similar tasks or change any of the existing, preset tasks to use any combination of the data in the Employee Master Information table (F060116).

To initiate an employee change, you can use the Employee Status Change program (P08720). You normally access this program through the Manager's Workbench program (P08712). The system automatically displays tabs and fields on the change request form that are required to complete the change that you request.
