Considerations for Enforcing Grades at Assignment Level

This topic describes the effects of the following employment-related profile options:

• PER_ENFORCE_VALID_GRADES

• PER_DEFAULT_GRADE_FROM_JOB_POSITION

Enforce Valid Grades (PER_ENFORCE_VALID_GRADES)

If you set the PER_ENFORCE_VALID_GRADES site-level profile option to Y, users can select a grade for an assignment. The grades can be selected only from those grades that are valid for the job or position.

• If users select a job and position for the assignment, they can select grades that are valid for the position only.

• If valid grades are defined for neither the job nor the position, users can select from all grades.

If you set this profile option to N (default value), users can select from all grades.

Default the Grade from the Job or Position (PER_DEFAULT_GRADE_FROM_JOB_POSITION)

You set the PER_DEFAULT_GRADE_FROM_JOB_POSITION site-level profile option to Y, when there is only one valid grade for a job or position. In this scenario, by default, the valid grade is used in the assignment. Additionally, if an entry grade is defined for a position, by default, the grade is used when the user creates a new assignment.

If you set this profile option to N (default value), users can select from all grades.
