Assignment Management

Assignment Management is used by the HR Managers to organize and manage the employee’s assigned work and calculate their expected salaries.

Assignment Management includes three main components: Employee Assignment, Temporary Position, and Accumulated Benefit Summary.

Employee Assignment

HR Managers use Employee Assignment to view all assignments of an employee from history to current. Managers can assign multiple assignments to different employees at the same time.

Under Employee Assignment HR managers can:

• Attach documents in XML format using the Attachment tab. These documents can be the assignment description or information about the employee
• HR Managers use Salary Transitions tab to view the salary history of the employee taking on the assignment.  An assignment must have a minimum of one salary transition in the employee’s file.  Salary Transitions records are also used by payroll calculation.
• Automatic Cost Items: When an employee’s pay is calculated, the system identifies all cost items/allowances which have been defined for that employee for the pay period.  The gross amount credited to the employee is determined by the sum of all earnings applicable to the pay period.
• Automatic Deductions: HR managers use Automatic Deductions to personalize an employee’s deduction by removing the deductions that do not apply to the assignment or by adding new ones or even override the values inherited from the deduction definition.

Temporary Position

Temporary Position is used by HR to assign short-term assignments to individual employees. Temporary Position is linked to the Leave and Promotion components.

Accumulated Benefit Summary

HR Managers use Accumulated Benefit Summary to review collected overtime employee benefits and various non-wage compensations provided to employees in addition to their normal wages or salaries. Accumulated Benefit Summary is maintained by the payroll calculation and it’s available for view by the HR Managers.
