Considerations for Enforcing Grades at Assignment Level

This topic describes the effects of the following employment-related profile options:

• PER_ENFORCE_VALID_GRADES

• PER_DEFAULT_GRADE_FROM_JOB_POSITION

Enforce Valid Grades (PER_ENFORCE_VALID_GRADES)

If you set the PER_ENFORCE_VALID_GRADES site-level profile option to Yes, users can select a grade for an assignment. The grades can be selected only from those grades that are valid for the job or position.

• If users select a job and position for the assignment, they can select grades that are valid for the position only.

• If valid grades are defined for neither the job nor the position, users can select from all grades.

If you set this profile option to No (default value), users can select from all grades.

Default the Grade from the Job or Position (PER_DEFAULT_GRADE_FROM_JOB_POSITION)

You set the PER_DEFAULT_GRADE_FROM_JOB_POSITION site-level profile option to Yes, when there is only one valid grade for a job or position. In this scenario, by default, the valid grade is used in the assignment. Additionally, if an entry grade is defined for a position, by default, the grade is used when the user creates a new assignment.

If you set this profile option to No (default value), users can select from all grades.
