Multiple Jobs and PeopleSoft Human Resources

When a worker holds multiple jobs, each job must have its Job Data record. When you enter an additional job, you need to make two decisions:

• For reporting purposes, which of the worker's jobs is the primary job.

  You don't have to designate a primary job, but you may want to, to ensure accurate affirmative action statistics and other data that is required for government reporting.

• Whether the worker's jobs will share a benefits program or have separate benefits.

  The system provides flexibility in mixing and matching jobs and benefits programs.

In other ways, PeopleSoft Human Resources treats an additional job the same way that it treats the worker's first job.

Maintain Multiple Concurrent Military Ranks

PeopleSoft enables customers to track multiple and concurrent job employment through Administer Workforce job data. For military organizations this means the system maintains and manages multiple concurrent ranks for a single service member with concurrent jobs. This functionality enable organizations to track multiple jobs and ranks through one of or a combination of the following examples:

• Concurrent jobs or new instance – two or more separate permanent employment instances not related to each other.

  For example, a service member has responsibilities in two separate departments: two positions in two departments. This is common in staff positions.

• Additional assignments – the new employment record is linked to an existing employment record where the additional job is only active if the primary employment instance is active.

  For example, a Maritime Patrol Aircraft service member is also Safety Officer within the same unit. Here the member has two jobs in the same department; this is referred to as "collateral duty."

• Temporary assignments – track temporary assignments while maintaining the employee's relationship with their permanent job which is copied to a temporary employment record and put on a suspended status. When the temporary assignment ends, the suspended instance resumes as it did before the temporary assignment began.

  For example, a service member goes out for an assignment or training and then comes back to the original, permanent duty station job.
