Understanding Employee Assignments

Companies that hire many different people to perform a wide range of tasks for different departments, and companies that have divergent payment arrangements-both need the ability to create flexible work assignments and payment arrangements that are beyond the capability of many time entry and payroll systems. For example, one employee might work on different assignments for different companies during the same pay period. When you activate employee assignment to work with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Time and Labor system, factors that are assignment-specific, such as pay and billing rates, Workers Compensation, and tax basis are used to create employee timecard records.

Regardless of whether companies require the complexity to accommodate employees who work on multiple assignments in the same pay period, companies can benefit from the ability to use templates to automatically enter a variety of time entry information collected from an employee's assignment.
