Terminations

When you terminate a person's work relationship, you end all of the person's assignments in the work relationship.

Human resources (HR) specialists can terminate people by using the existing Termination quick action (version 2) or the new Terminate Employment quick action (version 3) on the My Client Groups tab. Line managers can terminate their workers by selecting either the Termination or Terminate Employment quick action on the My Team tab.

This table shows the application behavior when you use the Termination or Terminate Employment quick action:

Condition	Version 2 Termination	Version 3 Termination
The person's assignment isn't terminated.	The Submit Termination page is displayed.	The Terminate Employment page is displayed.
The assignment is terminated in the future.	The View Termination page is displayed and you can correct or reverse the termination based on your user privilege.	The View Termination page is displayed and you can correct or reverse the termination based on your user privilege.
The person's assignment is terminated in the past.	The manager can't search for the person in the application because they can access the person's record only up to the termination date. However, the HR specialist can view the termination and correct or reverse it.

Here's what happens when you terminate a work relationship:

• The work relationship and its associated assignments become inactive the next day after the termination.

• User access and roles are revoked after the termination date. You can revoke the person's access immediately after termination or the next day after the termination date, by passing a suitable value to the ReviewUserAccess attribute for termination through HDL or HSDL. If no value is passed to the attribute, then the user account becomes inactive after termination.

• The enterprise and legal employer service periods end on the termination date. The person becomes an ex-worker for the legal employer.

• If you use Oracle Payroll, the payroll administrator gets a notification about the termination, which is the administrator's cue to terminate the person's payroll

Note: If the person has many work relationships and you want to terminate all of them, you must terminate the primary one last.

Termination Dates

• Termination notification date is the date the initiator notifies the other party of the termination. For example, a worker notifies an employer of his resignation or an employer notifies a worker of a layoff.

• Termination date is the worker's last date of employment, unless you have enabled the last working date which is different than the termination date. This defaults to the notification date plus the notice period specified in the assignment. You can override this default when entering the termination.

Ending a Single Assignment

Version 2 Termination	Version 3 Termination
If the work relationship has many assignments and you want to end one of them, you end the specific assignment and don't terminate the work relationship.	If the work relationship has many assignments and you want to terminate one of them, you only terminate the specific assignment and not the entire work relationship.
If the work relationship has a single assignment and you want to end it, you terminate the work relationship itself.	If the work relationship has a single assignment and you want to terminate it, you terminate the work relationship itself.

Ending a Temporary Assignment

You can end a temporary assignment by using the Terminate Employment quick action in Version 3 Termination. The original assignment is activated when you terminate the temporary assignment.

Note: Here are some points to consider when you end a temporary assignment in Version 3 Termination:

• You can correct the End Temporary Assignment action by selecting the record from the Employment Info page. However, you can't correct the termination date of the temporary assignment.
• You can reverse the End Temporary Assignment action by selecting the record from the Employment Info page and deleting the record.
• The correction or deletion of the record from the Employment Info page only impacts the selected assignment. If you need to make changes for more than one assignment, you must perform the action for each assignment.

Correcting a Termination

You can correct the earlier termination data for a worker by editing their data.

HR specialists and line managers can use the Termination quick action (version 2) or the Terminate Employment quick action (version 3) on the My Client Groups and My Team tabs respectively to correct a termination. You can search for the terminated worker and on the View Termination page, click Edit for the sections where you want to correct the termination data. Then you can submit your changes on the Correct Termination page. Line managers can correct the termination, provided it's in the future and they have the privilege to do so.

Note: You can't view or correct earlier termination comments and information related to reassigning of existing reports. If you need to correct information related to reassigning of existing reports, use the Manage Direct Reports process.

If you change the termination date for a second time on the Correct Termination page, a warning message is displayed that your changes will be lost. If you click Continue on the message, your data changes in all sections after the first date change will be reverted except for the second changed date. The data reverted changes will be retained except for the second changed date even if you click Cancel on the page.

If you prepone the assignment termination date on the Correct Termination page, these things happen:

• All changes in the Termination Info section are lost and the termination fields are populated with default values. The value in the Last Working Day field is reset to the termination date only if the existing value is invalid according to the new termination date.
• If there are future dated changes for the assignment, the changes are deleted when you click Submit.

What Happens to Payroll in a Termination

When you terminate employees with eligible earnings, such as bonuses or vacation payouts after their termination date, you must associate them with a nonrecurring element.
