Perform Global Transfers and Global Temporary Assignments

All transfers between legal employers are known as global transfers. During a global transfer, the application creates a work relationship and assignment under the new legal employer.

If the global transfer is permanent, the application terminates the existing work relationship and all assignments under it as of a day prior to the global transfer date.

Global Temporary Assignment is the temporary movement of an employee from one legal entity to another, within the same country or across different countries. The employment with the source legal employer remains active. The application creates a new employment with the target legal employer starting on the date of temporary assignment.

If you intend to use the Type of Transfer attribute to communicate global transfers across countries and within country to ADP, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to Manage Common Lookups task and search for Lookup Type: ORA_GPY_TRANSFER_TYPE

  2. Add a new lookup code as below:

    • Lookup code: INTERNATIONAL

    • Start Date: A sufficiently back dated date

    • Date : 31-Dec-4712

    • Meaning: INTERNATIONAL

Set Type of Transfer as INTERNATIONAL on the source legal employer while performing global transfers or global temporary assignments which are across countries.

If you don't set Type of Transfer as INTERNATIONAL, ADP Global Payroll won't be able to process the international transfers successfully.

Leave Type of Transfer blank for global transfer or global temporary assignment within the same country.
