Running the Retroactivity Process

This chapter provides an overview of retroactivity in Manage French Public Sector and discusses how to run the retroactivity process.

Understanding Retroactivity in Manage French Public Sector

Retroactivity is a way to manage the impact of inserting or deleting an action with an old effective date. An old effective date is an effective date older than the highest effective date in the employee's career data. This process consists of three steps:

• Deleting obsolete moves.

• Processing abrogation.

• Reconstituting career data.

Each time that a retroactive move is recorded during a Career transaction, the system activates a retroactivity flag on the employee record. A message indicates when a retroactive move has been inserted or deleted.

The Retroactivity SQR process (FPA600) searches for the retroactivity flags and:

• Deletes previous actions that are obsolete following the retroactive move.

  The process deletes moves until the action ending the process is reached. If no action ending the process is met, the process deletes all the moves, including projected moves that might have already been recorded.

• Suspends bonuses that have been granted for a deleted grade or step.

• Generates abrogation for deleted events, if necessary.

  If the order related to an event has been edited, when the event is deleted, it has to be abrogated (an abrogation order needs to be edited).

• Restores the employee career.

  The objective is to generate the automatic step increments that must occur after a retroactive move. The reconstitution consists of calculating advancement dates and moving employees. Both processes occur as many times as needed until the action ending the process is reached or until today’s date (projected moves are not reconstituted).

• Processes the suspended bonuses, while the reconstitution runs:

  • If the employee is still in the same step where the bonus was granted, the bonus is regranted.

  • If the employee is no longer in the same step where the bonus was granted, you must manually grant the bonus.

    A reassignment button appears on the Seniority Bonus Days page. Depending on the employee’s career status, you can either reassign the bonus (for a projected bonus) or delete it.
