Concept: Corrections to Staffing History

Concept: Corrections to Staffing History

You can correct a hire, termination, or job change based on these guidelines and restrictions.
Workday recommends reviewing both the
Job History
report and the event details you’re correcting in the
Worker History
report. This ensures that you’re correcting the latest and most accurate details.

Hire

  • You can correct information only in the initial
    Hire
    step, not other steps, or substeps (such as compensation elements).
  • You can correct the pre-hire record, job, or position only by rescinding the original hire action and restarting the process.
  • If you configure the
    Add Probation Period
    step on the
    Hire
    business process and you correct the
    Hire Date
    of the
    Hire
    event, Workday:
    • Recalculates the dates of the associated
      Manage Probation Period
      event.
    • Doesn't recalculate the dates of the associated
      Manage Probation Period
      event with extended end dates or if recalculating the dates causes overlap with another
      Manage Probation Period
      event.
  • You can correct the
    Hire Date
    and
    Reason
    for multiple employees using the
    Mass Correct of Hire
    task.
  • You can correct the supervisory organization on a completed hire, as long as the new supervisory organization uses the same staffing model. Use the
    Change Organization Assignments
    task to change organization assignments manually when assignments on the position don't align with the allowed organizations on the new supervisory organization.
  • You can't override hiring restrictions established at the position, or organization level, including restrictions on the:
    • Job profile
    • Employee type
    • Time type
    • Location
    Use the
    Edit Position Restrictions
    and
    Edit Hiring Restrictions
    tasks instead.

Termination

  • You can correct an employee's termination details, but to reverse a termination you must rescind the event.
  • You can only correct information in the initial
    Termination
    step, not other steps, or substeps (such as COBRA eligibility).
  • You can't correct the
    Close Position
    check box, regardless of the termination status.

Change Job

  • The
    Change Job
    business process includes outbound and inbound steps in the same workflow. During correction, you only see the proposed (changed) job information. You don't see a worker's current and proposed values in side-by-side columns as you do in the initial task.
  • If you configure the
    Add Probation Period
    step on the
    Change Job
    business process and you correct the
    Effective Date
    of the
    Change Job
    event, Workday:
    • Recalculates the dates of the associated
      Manage Probation Period
      event.
    • Doesn't recalculate the dates of the associated
      Manage Probation Period
      event with extended end dates or if recalculating the dates causes overlap with another
      Manage Probation Period
      event.
  • You can correct job-related information but, regardless of the process status, you can't correct the:
    • Supervisory organization.
    • Job or position.
    • Headcount options.
    • Option to create a position.
  • You can’t correct organization changes for a staffing event if:
    • It's a duplicate event created to keep position and position restriction in sync.
    • It isn't at the top of the list when there are multiple assign organization events for the same day.
    • It has a compensation review in-progress.
