Payroll Data Capture for Multiple Concurrent Assignments

You can restrict access to assignments based on a user's Person Security Profile, if your organization allows workers to have multiple concurrent assignments.

Enable the assignment-level security profile to ensure that users have access toonly those assignments that match the criteria defined in their person security profile.

You can apply this behavior to a limited set of quick actions, such as Payroll Relationship, Element Entries, Calculation Entries, and Costing for a Person. For all other payroll features, the behavior stays the same. If at least one of the employee's assignment satisfies the criteria in the person security profile, then the application displays all assignments on the search results page.

This table describes how the enhanced data capture applies to these Quick Action tasks:

Here are some considerations that you factor in when enabling the assignment-level security profile:

  • Any other page, process, or report apart from those in the table operate at the payroll relationship level. You will have access to all assignments if at least one of the assignments satisfies the criteria set in the Person Security Profile.

  • If you have access to one assignment each in the manage and view-only pages for the same employee, you can manage both assignments. The manage access takes precedence over view-only.

  • Calculation entries, such as Absence and Time region don't support assignment level security.

  • Quick Pay Person Search returns all assignments. Let's consider the case when you select an assignment that you're not allowed to view. Then the application displays those element entries for the assignments that you're allowed to view, which could be a different assignment than the one selected. If you aren't allowed to view any assignment, then the element entry section is blank. If you submit the Quick Pay, then the application processes all element entries.
