Adjust a Seniority Date

To adjust a seniority date, you can update or correct the seniority date.

When you update a person's seniority date, you add an effective dated record for the person's seniority rule. An effective dated split is created in the seniority record. For example, here's the seniority record having an effective date of 1-Jan-2005, and it's seniority calculation as of 31-Dec-2007:

Seniority Date Level	Job	Seniority	Seniority Date	Seniority Change Start Date	Seniority Change End Date
Job - Person Level	Sales Consultant	3 Years	1-Jan-2005	01-Jan-2005	31-Dec-4712 (Ongoing)

To do an effective dated update as of 31-Jan-2008, you need you change the date from 1-Jan-2008 to 31-Jan-2008 by editing the record. To do a correction, leave the date of the record unchanged. In this case, we have added the effective dated split by changing the date to 31-Jan-2008 and adding the adjustment of 1 year.

Here's the seniority calculation as of 31-Jan-2008:

Seniority Date Level	Job	Seniority	Seniority Date	Adjustment	Seniority Change Start Date	Seniority Change End Date
Job - Person Level	Sales Consultant	4 Years 1 Months	1-Jan-2004	1 Years	31-Jan-2008	31-Dec-4712 (Ongoing)
Job - Person Level	Sales Consultant	3 Years	1-Jan-2005	Null	01-Jan-2005	30-Jan-2008

Note: The seniority change end date for a particular seniority rule is shown as Ongoing in the latest effective-dated row, instead of the actual date 31-Dec-4712.

You can manually adjust a seniority rule by clicking the edit icon (pencil icon) on a seniority record. By default, the seniority record displays the same effective date as the row from which the transaction was initiated.

Here's how you can adjust a person's seniority by updating the manual adjustment units:

1. Click the Seniority Dates task under Quick Actions on the home page.

2. Search and select the person for whom you want to adjust the seniority date.

3. In the Seniority Dates section, click Edit.

4. Select the date for the seniority change.

   Note: Don't change the existing date if you're correcting the seniority.

5. Enter the manual value for the seniority adjustment.

   Note: If the seniority basis on the worker's assignment is days, enter the adjustment in days. If it's in hours, enter the adjustment in hours. Enter a positive number to increase seniority by moving the date back. Enter a negative number to reduce seniority by moving the date forward.

6. Add any comments.

7. Click OK.
