Organizational Relationships

Organizations have relationships with a variety of people for a variety of reasons. PeopleSoft enables you to manage the data of those people with whom you have an organizational relationship. A person can have more than one organizational relationship at any one time or can change relationships over time.

Organizational relationships fall into one of the following categories:

• Employee.

  A person who is hired to provide services to the organization and has a legal employee relationship with the organization.

• Contingent worker.

  A person who provides services to the organization and who does not have a legal employee relationship with the organization.

  Note:

  PeopleSoft Payroll for North America does not process payroll for contingent workers.

• Person of interest (POI).

  A person who is not an employee or contingent worker but is of interest to the organization. POIs can be:

  • COBRA participants.

  • Pension payees.

  • Stock - board members.

  • Stock - non-HR administered employees.

  • Global Payroll payees.

  • Campus Solutions persons.

  • External trainees.

  • External instructors.

  • Any person who fits within a POI type you've created.

  • Applicants who require payment through Payroll for North America prior to being hired.

Note:

Dependents, beneficiaries, emergency contacts, and health and safety physicians are not captured as POIs.

These topics refer only to those people with organizational relationships.
