Mass Legal Employer Change

Change the legal employer of multiple employees in a single batch using the Mass Legal Employer Change task. The application copies the assignment and work relationship data from source to destination work relationship for all the employees as of the global transfer date.

If you update anything after the global transfer date, the application doesn't copy that data.

You can also select employees from different legal employers for transferring to the same destination legal employer. If you select employees from different LDGs, the application copies only the data for those employees transferring within the LDG. However, the global transfer and any override values apply to only those employees that you have selected for the transfer.

What's Copied

Select the data that you want to copy from the source to the target assignment and payroll relationship within the legislative data group.

  • Payroll relationship and assignment attributes such as Payroll.

  • Personal payment methods: The application copies the payment methods depending on the availability of a valid organizational payment method for the same payment type.

  • Person costing overrides: By default, the application doesn't copy costing overrides. If you choose to copy, then the application copies data across four levels at which the person costing setup is held.

  • Recurring element entries: The application copies element entries subject to eligibility. To exclude certain elements from being copied, define an element (object) group with the usage type as Global Transfer.

  • If both the legal employers share the same payroll statutory unit, and if the Tax Reporting Unit attribute is made available in the mass change legal employer flow and you specify a value during the transfer, the application does the following:

    • After the flow is submitted for all the employees included in the flow, their tax reporting unit association information is updated with the specified tax reporting unit value as of the transfer date on their existing personal deduction card

    • An association detail record is created for their newly added assignment with effective start date set to the transfer date on their existing personal deduction card

  • If both the legal employers are associated to different payroll statutory units and the transfer-in legal employer is a newly set up company, the application does the following:

    • After the flow is submitted for all the employees covered in the flow, a new payroll relationship is created for them on the transfer date

    • A new personal deduction card with the card details is copied over except association information

    • If the Tax Reporting Unit attribute is made available in the flow and a value is specified during the transfer, then both the association and association details information is created for them as of the transfer date

Note: The Mass Legal Employer Change flow interprets a blank entry to imply the value on the source assignment and payroll relationship. Unless you override this value, the application copies the source value to the target assignment and payroll relationship for using it on the target records.

After you perform a mass legal employer change, you can view the messages of the copy process on the Change Legal Employer Dashboard.
