Table 1 - 9. Employment Information

Every enterprise needs to track the changes in employment information for each employee over the lifetime of their employment:

• Where a change affects a group, the human resource system must be able to effect that change for every individual in the group according to a set of rules.

• Where a change affects only a few individuals, the system must allow entry of changes for those individuals.

• The assignment connects employees to your enterprise's work structures and policies, so that changes to the structures and policies are reflected in the employee's records.

• You can query groups of employees with similar assignments (such as all assignments on grade C2) and make changes for each employee in these groups.

• The assignment is datetracked to maintain a work history as the employee moves through your enterprise.
