Change a Worker's Current Job Details

Change a Worker's Current Job Details

Configure the
Edit Position
business process and security policy in the Staffing functional area.
You can modify the details of a worker's current job. These details include the job profile, worker type, time type, location, job classifications, and work shift. These changes apply to the worker currently in the job, but don't apply to future hires or occupants of the job.
The hiring restrictions that you define using the
Set Hiring Restrictions
task applies to future occupants of a job. Updates apply to all future hires and job changes. You can optionally enable overrides of hiring restrictions in the
Edit Tenant Setup - HCM
task.
  1. Access the
    Edit Job
    task.
  2. Select the
    Job
    currently occupied by a worker.
  3. In the
    Job Details
    and
    Additional Information
    sections, specify changes to the worker's job.
    Hiring restrictions limit changes to a worker's job profile, time type, and location. These hiring restrictions are associated with the worker's job. Example: The hiring restrictions limit hiring to the Atlanta location. To change the location to Chicago, you must first modify the hiring restrictions.
