Employment Model

The employment model comprises two types of entities, which are work relationships and assignments.

To configure employment models for the enterprise or for individual legal employers, use the Manage Enterprise HCM Information and Manage Legal Entity HCM Information tasks in the Setup and Maintenance work area respectively.

When you configure the employment model for the enterprise or legal employer (when you create or update the enterprise or legal employer), you can select from four options:

• Single Assignment

• Single Assignment with Contract

• Multiple Assignments

• Multiple Contracts with Single Assignment

Single Assignment

If you select Single Assignment, each work relationship of any type has one assignment only.

The assignment is created automatically when the work relationship is created.

Single Assignment with Contract

If you select Single Assignment with Contract, users can include contract information in the single assignment.

Creating the work relationship automatically creates the assignment. Including contract information in the assignment is optional.

Multiple Assignments

If you select Multiple Assignments, each work relationship of any type can include one or more assignments.

Creating the work relationship automatically creates one assignment. Additional assignments are optional; you create those manually.

Multiple Contracts with Single Assignment

If you select Multiple Contracts with Single Assignment, users can include multiple contracts. Each contract is associated with a single assignment. However, if you're using the responsive Employment Contracts page, then you can associate a single contract with multiple assignments during the responsive Add Assignment process.

Creating the work relationship automatically creates one assignment. Additional assignments are optional; you create those manually. Including contract information in the assignment is optional.
