Time Configuration When Terminate Today Is on an Earlier Date

You terminate someone's employment today with an employment termination date that's earlier than today.

Best Practice Configuration

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

Functional Tasks Supported by This Configuration

Before and after the employment termination date, the person can't create, edit, delete, or submit time entries. Here's what happens before the employment termination date:

  • Managers with the appropriate privileges have full access to time data for the active employee before the employment termination date and can make any required changes. Scheduled processes can also adjust time data for the active employee.
  • Approval, rejection, and informational notifications get sent automatically to recipients when the active employee's adjusted 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 active employee's configurations for the time consumer set and the time card approval workflows decide time data approval.

After the employment termination date, no person or scheduled process can create, process, approve, or transfer time data for the inactive employee.

Special Case

When the employment termination date is before today and the person is still on site, we recommend that you set the HR employment termination date to today. Then, follow the scenario in the topic Time Configuration When Hire Today Is on the Same Day or a Future Day.
