Managing Recall Rights
To manage recall rights, use the Worker Recall Rights Process component (HR_RUNCTL_RGT) and the Manage Recall Rights component (HR_RCL_RIGHTS).
This topic discusses how to process and maintain recall rights.
Note:
Recall rights are the rights a laid off worker has to accept a lower level job (bumping) or to be recalled back to work when a position becomes available. Each labor agreement has a recall expiration rule that calculates how long a worker has recall rights following a layoff and under what circumstances those rights would expire.

This example illustrates the Worker Recall Rights Process page.

Note:
Use this process only when using PeopleSoft Mass Update to update candidates' job information. The layoff, recall, and reinstatement processes create recall rights automatically.
| Field or Control | Description |
|---|---|
|
Roster ID |
Select the ID of the layoff or recall roster whose candidates' recall rights you want to update. The system will create a record in the Recall Rights component for those candidates who have a process event status on the roster. When an employee's recall rights have been processed for a particular Roster ID they cannot be processed a second time for the same Roster ID. |
|
Reason |
Select the reason for the new recall rights record. The system will insert this value in the Reason field on the Manage Recall Rights page. |
Manage Recall Rights Page
Use the Manage Recall Rights page (HR_RCL_RIGHTS) to view and maintain a worker's reemployment rights.

You can manually enter and maintain recall rights for a person but the system will create and populate a row on this page for each person being processed when you run the:
-
Process Layoff process.
-
Process Recall or Process Reinst (Reinstatement) processes.
Note:
The system will create rows for those who accept a recall. Employees who reject recalls may lose their Recall Rights depending on the recall rights expiration rule assigned to their labor agreement. If a person rejects a recall, update the Recall Rights manually.
