PER058 - Primary Job Audit − Administer Workforce

One important reason to designate primary and secondary jobs is to create accurate data for regulatory reporting. By running reports for a worker's primary job only, you create an accurate worker count for affirmative action and other government reports. However, the flexibility PeopleSoft Human Resources gives you to designate primary and secondary jobs could compromise the accuracy of your reporting data. It's possible to have workers who have no job designated as a primary job, or more than one primary job, or an inactive job designated as the primary job. We recommend checking regularly to correct these kinds of discrepancies in your worker job records. Use the Primary Job Audit report to check for discrepancies in the primary job designation for workers with multiple jobs.

This report lists all workers whose job records show the following potential problems:

  • Multiple primary jobs: More than one active job is currently designated as a primary job.

  • Terminated primary job: The primary job was terminated and a nonprimary job is the active job.

  • No primary job: None of the person's concurrent jobs has been chosen as the primary job.
