Creating Employee Groups for Standalone Job Step Progression
To process step progression information for employees using the standalone method, you must create employee groups. Each employee group that you create should include employees whose job type step progression requirements are based on the same units of measure. You can create employee groups for employees whose step progression requirements are based either on hours, days, or pieces. You can also create employee groups for employees whose step progression requirements are based on a custom function.
For example, you would have to set up a minimum of two employee groups to process step progression information for these employees:
Employee A must work 500 hours to progress to the next job level.
Employee B must work 1000 hours to progress to the next job level.
Employee C must work 90 days to progress to the next job level.
You might want to create an employee group that is based on hourly requirements to process employees A and B. You might also create an employee group based on daily requirements to process employee C. However, you cannot include all three employees in the same employee group, because the requirements to move to the next job level are based on different units of measure.
