How Line Manager Synchronization Happens During Termination When Position Hierarchy Is Used

When the application reassigns direct reports of a terminated manager, the manager is updated for all direct reports, including active and suspended assignments. This topic explains how the line manger value is synchronized during termination if you enable synchronization using HCM position hierarchy.

How Line Manager Is Synchronized

When you terminate a manager with direct reports, the Reassign Direct reports section displays the direct line reports in read-only mode. The line manager for the direct reports is synchronized based on the following conditions:

• If the position has multiple incumbents, the other incumbent is the new manager.

• If no other incumbent exists in the position, the incumbent in the parent position is the new manager. If the parent position doesn't have an incumbent either, the application checks for an incumbent one level up in the hierarchy or until it finds an incumbent.

• If the parent position has multiple incumbents, the incumbent with the longest tenure is the new manager.

• If a parent position doesn't exist or there are no incumbents in all the parent positions in the hierarchy, you can manually reassign the direct reports to other managers.
