Time Configuration 1: When Today Is After Termination and Before Rehire

Today is after the person left, the employment termination date, and before the rehire date. You must make adjustments and payment before the rehire date.

Best Practice Configuration

Starting on the employment termination date, the active employee becomes an inactive employee and changes HCM group memberships. Starting on the rehire date, the person is an active employee again and changes HCM group memberships because of the new job. The membership changes can be manual or automatic, according to group inclusion and exclusion conditions and whether the employee is active or inactive. The change in group membership automatically changes the time entry and processing profiles that the active and inactive employee is associated with.

Functional Tasks Supported by This Configuration

Here's what happens before the employment termination date:

  • The person and line manager can't create, edit, delete, or submit time entries.
  • Time and labor managers with the appropriate privileges, and scheduled processes, can adjust and submit time card data for the person.
  • Approval, rejection, and informational notifications get sent automatically to recipients when the person's adjusted time data gets submitted. Task configurations for the time card approval workflows identify the recipients.

Between the employment termination and rehire dates, no person or scheduled process can create, process, approve, or transfer time data for the person. Because the person is gone, this period isn't sensitive or protected from the person's awareness.

Here's what happens after the rehire date:

  • Everyone with the appropriate privileges, and scheduled processes, can create, edit, delete, and submit time cards for the person in the new job.
  • Approval, rejection, and informational notifications get sent automatically to recipients when the person's time cards get submitted. Task configurations for the time card approval workflows identify the recipients.
  • Administrators for applicable time consumers, such as payroll, transfer the approved time data. The person's new time consumer set configuration and the time card approval workflow task configurations decide time data approval.
