Human Resources Job Records

PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management keeps track of all job records for employees and non-employees. When hiring a new employee, the system assigns the employee an employee job record 0 (EMPL_RCD 0). The employee job record 0 is the hire record and acts as a default when creating assignments for this employee. In the Staffing Installation Options component, you can choose one of two options on how PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management uses job records. In the first option, for every assignment the employee receives, a new employee job record number (EMPL_RCD 1, 2, 3, and so forth) is generated. In the second option, PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management attempts to reuse existing job records, provided that the department, company, HR business unit, and paygroup specified in the assignment are the same as those in the employee's default job record and provided that the existing job record is not already being used by a concurrent assignment.

Even if there exists the possibility to reuse an existing job record, users with appropriate security access can force the creation of an additional job specifically for a new assignment.

Note:

If you select both of the Additional Job Options check boxes, the system will create an additional job for each assignment and it will not attempt to recycle jobs.

In PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management the creation or reuse of job records for new assignments applies to temporary orders only. Career orders do not generate job records.
