Tracking Assignments

This chapter provides an overview of global assignment tracking and discusses how to:

Create checklists.
Manage employee home and host data.
Manage assignments with multiple home or host data records.
Manage employee assignment data.
Manage company-paid travel for employees on assignment.
Manage dependent information for employees on assignment.
Track assignment compensation and currency fluctuation.

Understanding Global Assignment Tracking

When you send an employee on a global assignment, you track new assignment details, additional employee earnings and deductions, and different benefits packages. You might also administer an employee’s personal affairs, such as housing, vehicles, and furniture. With PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources, you can easily settle employees and their dependents in new locations.

Note. Before you process a global assignment, a human resources record and emplID must already exist in the PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources system for the employee.

Creating Checklists

This section provides an overview of creating checklists and lists the pages used to create checklists.

Understanding Creating Checklists

Much of the information that you process for different assignment types and countries remains constant. To save yourself work (and data entry errors or omissions), create standard checklists to streamline global assignment processing. For special situations, use standard checklists as the basis for creating modified checklists.

Set up checklists by using the Checklist Item Table and Checklist Table. To tailor a checklist for an employee, use the Employee Checklist page.

Defining and Maintaining the Home Location Information

Use the Home and Host Data (HOME_HOST_DATA) component to manage and review employees' home base and host location information and to create job records for assignments.

To manage employee global assignments, first establish an employee's permanent, or home, location and data. The home location is the place to which the employee returns when a temporary assignment ends, and the home data is the employee's job data when the employee is not on assignment.

If you added an employment instance for a person into the PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources system, the employee has a job data record that serves as the home information. If the employee is a new employee, create an employment instance before processing the assignment.

Note. An employee may have more than one job at home, and so may have more than one home human resources record.

Defining and Maintaining the Host Location Information

Each time that you send an employee on a temporary assignment, you need to create a separate set of host and benefits data for that assignment. Host data includes information such as job, department, and location. Host benefits data consists of the employee’s benefits program participation. By creating a separate set of data for the assignment, you retain permanent home and benefits data for the employee and track data for the current assignment.

The first time that you add host data for a new assignment, create a new job record on the Home and Host Data component.

When you create a host job record, the job information fields are available for entry on the Host Data page. When you save the new host information, the system stores the data in the employee’s employment, job, and benefit program participation tables. These are the same tables in which all standard job data is stored.

When one global assignment ends, reuse the same job record and enter a new data row for the new assignment.

Note. You generally use one host employment record to track all global assignments for an employee, unless there are special circumstances, such as concurrent host assignments or different sets of benefits for a particular assignment. For these cases, add another employment record number to track the data separately.

Defining Assignee Qualifications

This section discusses how to enter educational qualifications and skills.

To identify the best-qualified employees to send on assignments, review employee educational qualifications and skills, and track additional education and skills that they acquire during assignments. Enter assignment-specific school codes, major codes, or skill codes.

The Competencies, Education (and Education USF), and Languages components are available in global assignments (Workforce Administration, Global Assignments, Assignee Qualifications) as well as in other PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources applications.

Understanding Job Data

Beginning an Assignment

To begin an employee's assignment:

Create a host job record if one does not already exist.

Note. Use the same job record for all assignments, entering a new data row for each assignment.

See Defining and Maintaining the Host Location Information.
Select the Action code ASG (Assignment) and any appropriate Reason code.
Enter the host information that is for this assignment.

Ending Assignments

To end an assignment, insert a data row on the Home and Host Data component and select ASC (Assignment Completion) in the Action/Reason field on the Host Data page.

End an assignment only if the employee is not immediately sent on a new assignment.

If the employee is going on a new assignment immediately, enter a new row for the new assignment.

Transferring an Employee Permanently

Sometimes an employee on temporary assignment stays at a location permanently. As a permanent employee, he or she shares the same status as a local employee and should no longer be managed as an employee on temporary assignment. All employee, benefit, and payroll data tracking for the employee takes place at the new location because it is the employee’s new home base.

To transfer an employee permanently:

End all open temporary global assignments.
Access the Job Data page, insert a row, and enter the department, location, and job code for the permanent host assignment.

Viewing and Updating Home and Host Information

Access the Home and Host Data page.

If you access the component by using an employee's home employment record number, most of the elements on this page are display-only, showing data from the employee's job record.

If you access the component by using an employee's host employment record number, enter the employee's job information for the assignment here.

The elements that are on this page are the same as those that appear on the Job Data component.

Action Date

Displays the date on which you enter this row.

Action/Reason

Select an action to distinguish global assignments from other administrative actions.

You can identify specific reasons for sending employees on assignments. For example, you might process some assignments that are due to a transfer of skills and others that are due to a shortage of local skilled personnel. To track assignment types more easily, specify reasons for them.

Use the Action Reason Table to set up reasons specific to global assignments.

See Setting Up the Administer Workforce Business Process.

Adding or Viewing Home and Host Payroll Data

Access Home and Host Data page: Payroll Data tab

The elements that are on this page are the same as those that appear in the Job Data component.

Adding or Viewing Home and Host Assignment Data

Assess the Home and Host Data page: Assignment tab

The elements that are on this page are the same as those that appear in the Job Data component.

Home or Host

For employees with multiple assignments, the system populates this field with:

Home if an assignment is based at the employee's home location.
Host if an assignment is based at a location other than the employee's home location.

Home/Host Employment Record #

For employees with multiple assignments, the system generates employment record numbers to track data for each concurrent job. A new hire's employment record number for their initial job is set to 0. For each subsequent job the employee receives, an additional, sequential employment record number is assigned.

Adding or Viewing Home and Host Benefits Data

Access the Home and Host Data page: Benefits tab.

The elements that are on this page are the same as those that appear in the Job Data component.

Benefit Program

Enter a benefit program; doing so does not affect other employee home data.

You can make changes on the Home and Host Data - Benefits page, or on the Benefit Program Participation page in the Workforce Administration menu.

Managing Assignments With Multiple Home or Host Data Records

This section discusses how to:

Add assignments when an employee has multiple jobs at home.
Add assignments when an employee has multiple host locations.
Tie multiple home or host data to an assignment.

Adding Assignments When an Employee Has Multiple Jobs at Home

For most global assignments, the employee has one home job record and one host job record; however, you may encounter situations in which an employee has more than one job at home or more than one assignment.

Some employees have more than one employment record in the system before they go on a global assignment. For example, an American university professor going to teach at Oxford for a year might have two jobs in the U.S., one as a professor and another as a researcher. The employee already has two employment records in the system for the home jobs, so you need to create a third employment record for the host.

To track host data for an employee with multiple home records:

Create a new host employment record on the Home and Host Data component or in the Add New Assignment component (ADD_PER_ORG_ASGN).

The system adds another employment record so that you (and the system) can differentiate between the jobs. In both the initial employment instance and concurrent jobs, the system uses home as the default home/host class.
Enter assignment dates on the Assignment Data page.

When you enter the assignment end date, the system checks to see if other home records have effective dates that are equal to or before the end date that you enter. If more than one current home data record exists, the system displays a message asking you to indicate the home record for this assignment. Click OK to continue.
Associate one of the home records with the assignment on the Assignment Data - Assignment Home/Host page.

Adding Assignments When an Employee Has Multiple Host Locations

Some employees split their time between two or more locations during an assignment. For example, a manager who was sent to Japan might also be assigned to work in Korea at the same time. Whether this is known before the assignment starts or arises during the assignment, the jobs are treated as different, concurrent host records in the system.

To track data for an employee with multiple host records:

Create a separate employment record for each host on the Home and Host Data component.

Use the Add action to access the page. When the system prompts you for an employment record number, select to assign the next available employment record number, such as 2 or 3.
Enter assignment dates and other details on the Assignment Data page, unless assignment data already exists for the first host.

If assignment data already exists for the first host, create only one assignment for both hosts. Verify that the current assignment data has an end date that includes or extends beyond the end date of the second assignment.

If you’re creating both host records at the same time, enter the details of the new assignment on the Assignment Data page.
Associate both host records with the assignment that is on the Assignment Data - Assignment Home/Host page.

If you created assignment data for the first host earlier, Host 1 appears when you open the page. Click the Insert Row button to insert a new data row. Select Host 2 so that the system can associate both records with the assignment.

If the assignment is new, insert two new data rows and designate the hosts as Host 1 and Host 2 so that the system can associate them both with the assignment.

Tying Multiple Home or Host Data to an Assignment

If an employee has more than one home record, associate one record with the assignment. If the employee has multiple, concurrent host records, associate all the host records with the assignment. The information that you enter on the Assignment Data - Assignment Home/Host page controls the earnings and deductions that track for home and host data on the Assignment Compensation page.

To associate a home record with an assignment:

Access the Assignment Data - Home/Host page.

If the employee has only one home data record or only one host data record, it appears on this page. If no home data record appears, that means that the employee has multiple concurrent home records.
Insert a new data row.
Select Home in the Home or Host field.
Enter or select the employment record number for the home record that you want to associate with this assignment.

The system populates the remaining fields.
Save entries.

To associate multiple host records with an assignment:

Access the Assignment Data - Host/Home Data page.

If the employee has only one host data record, it appears on this page.

If no host data appears and you already added host data on the Host/Home Information component, it means that the employee has multiple, concurrent host records.
Insert a new data row for each host location.
Select Host 1 for the first location and Host 2 for the second location, in the Host field.
Enter or select the appropriate employment record number for each location. The system populates the remaining fields.

If no entries automatically appear in the display-only fields, then you selected an employment record number for a host record that's effective after the end date of the assignment. Either update the effective date of the host job information or change the end date of the assignment.
Save entries.
