  • Department
  • Job
  • Grade
  • Employment Category
  • People Group: To set up logical entity specific people group, on the Create Element Eligibility page, select the required values in these options:
  • Legal Employer
  • People Group

If you don't select a legal entity as a criteria, then the application looks for the people group associated at the enterprise level.

By default, the enterprise level people group is available.

Tip: You set up all the people groups that are applicable to your enterprise. For example, you could decide to group people by company within a multiple company enterprise, and by union membership.
  • Location of person's office
  • Position, which is a class of job performed in a particular organization
  • Payroll
  • All Payrolls Eligible.
Tip: You're advised to define eligibility rules based on the payroll criteria for all assignment elements such as salary. Select the All Payroll Eligible option if your company doesn't have eligibility rules based on an employee's payroll. This option ensures that all employees who are assigned to a payroll will be eligible for the element.
  • Bargaining Unit

  • Collective Agreement

  • Union Member
Tip: You must define element eligibility for every element, including predefined elements. It's recommended to define eligibility rules based on the payroll criteria for all assignment level elements. It's also a common practice for payroll customers to define costing rules on the element eligibility record. Additional eligibility rules can be defined for compensation and benefit elements using eligibility profiles.
