Steps: Set Up End Jobs

Steps: Set Up End Jobs

Set up the
Termination
 business process.
Set up the
End Jobs
 task, enabling managers to end 1 or more jobs and terminate workers with multiple jobs.
  1. Edit Domain Security Policies.
    Configure security for the
    Staffing Actions: End Jobs
     domain.
    On the
    End Additional Job
     business process security policy:
    • Update security permissions for the
      End Job
       initiating action.
    • Configure these new initiating actions:
      • End Job
         (initiates
        End Additional Job
         as a subprocess of
        Termination
        ).
      • End Additional Job from End Jobs
        .
    On the
    Termination
     business process, configure security for the
    Termination from End Jobs
     initiating action.
    To terminate workers using the
    End Jobs
     task, users must have permission for both of these initiating actions:
    • End Additional Jobs from End Jobs
    • Termination from End Jobs
  2. Edit Business Processes.
    Configure the
    End Additional Job
     business process as a subprocess of the
    Termination
     business process. Ensure that the
    End Additional Job
     subprocess step is:
    • After the
      Review
      step and before the
      Completion
       step.
    • Required and has no entry conditions. This configuration ensures that all jobs can end.
    You can add a
    Termination Review
     step to the
    End Additional Job
     business process. This review step ensures that all required fields have a value, such as fields that aren't part of the
    End Jobs
     task.
    When you enable
    End Additional Job
     as a subprocess of
    Termination
    , Workday ends all jobs during all terminations and resignations. Resignations continue to route through Termination.
    Configure the
    Switch Primary Job
     business process as a subprocess of the
    End Additional Job
     business process. Ensure that the
    Switch Primary Job
     subprocess step is:
    • After the
      Review
       step and before the
      Completion
       step.
    • Required and has no entry conditions. This configuration ensures that the worker has a primary job.
    When you add
    Switch Primary Job
     as a subprocess of
    End Additional Job
    , you can no longer correct
    End Additional Job
     events. Corrections might remove the worker's primary job.
  3. Access the
    Maintain End Additional Job Categories
     task.
    Define categories and reasons for the
    End Additional Job
     task.
    Example: You create a
    Voluntary
     category with the
    Other Employment
     and
    Unknown
     reasons. You create an
    Involuntary
     category with the
    Workforce Reduction
     and
    Job Reclassification
     reasons.
    Security:
    Set Up: Staffing
     domain in the Staffing functional area.
  4. Access
    Configure Optional Fields
     task to control the display of optional fields on the Terminate Employee section. From the
    By Functional Area
     prompt, you can select
    End Jobs
     to access the fields. The fields display in the
    Additional Information for Terminate Employee
     section.
  5. (Optional) Enable autocomplete on the
    End Additional Job
     and
    Switch Primary Job
     business process definitions.
    Enabling autocomplete on the
    Switch Primary Job
     business process definition also enables autocomplete when
    Switch Primary Job
     is a subprocess of these business process definitions:
    • Add Additional Job
    • Change Job
    To specify when you want to autocomplete, use rule-based business process configurations.
    When you enable autocomplete on the
    End Additional Job
     business process,
    End Additional Job
     events automatically complete only:
    • As a subprocess of
      Termination
      .
    • When initiated by the
      End Jobs
       task.
  6. (Optional) Access the
    Maintain Staffing Field Defaults
     task and configure these fields for
    Switch Primary Job
    :
    • Proposed Primary Job
    • Reason
  7. (Optional) Enable the
    End Jobs
     task on the My Team Management dashboard so that managers can more easily access the task.
  8. (Optional) Set up job overlap for vacating positions.
Managers can use the
End Jobs
 task to end 1 or more jobs for a worker, or terminate a worker with 1 or more jobs.
To simplify access for managers, remove security for the existing
End Job
 and
Termination
 tasks. This security configuration ensures that users can only access the
End Jobs
 task.
