How Position Management Relates to Employee 'On Boarding'
Position Management contains integrated ‘On Boarding’ processing to ensure that when employee records are created a number of default parameters driven from the HR Position and HR Position-related tables are defined in conjunction with the new employee record.
The following automated processes take place when you create a new employee record:
- New Employees are assigned a new employee number based on a pre-defined numbering series. This ‘assignment’ is automatically tracked by the system.
- Copies of the completed Personal Exemption forms are obtained from the employee (TD1- TD1-BC) a HR or Payroll task code can be used to remind both HR and the employee to ensure this information is updated.
- Similarly, HR collects the appropriate banking information from the employee in respect to the establishment of direct deposit payments for payroll and forwards this information to payroll for processing.
- Dimension Defaults as established in the Dimensions tab of the Position Card:
- HR Tasks are associated with the entry. These are reminders of tasks that are to be completed either by the employee, the manager, HR, or Payroll representatives.
- Qualifications/Training – These are qualifications required by the new job assignment and will either be created with due dates or will automatically book the employee for training if such training is already scheduled to take place within a period of time.
- Articles - These are a list items that are assigned to the employee when they begin a new HR Position. These can be items such as:
- Blackberry
- Laptop
- Access Card
- Credit Card
- Calling Card
- Fax Machine (home office only)
- Printer (home office only)
- Headset (home office only)
The result of the ‘On Boarding’ process is a pre-populated Employee card where just a few items need to be manually filled in to ensure pay processing is accurate. Additionally, the Human Resources Management granule contains an employee validation process which lists the issues a payroll or HR consultant must resolve.

Adding and Updating Employee Card Data
The Employee Card is where all employee-related information is stored. A card exists for each employee and is a valuable reference for information about the individual. As such, the information needs to be kept up to date and accurate. Certain areas of the data are maintained by Human Resources representatives and Management, but there is also a link from the employee portals enabling individuals to manage and update their own personal profiles.
The Employee Card contains several tabs for storing different types of information about the employee. The following tables describe the Employee Card FastTabs and the information captured within each of those tabs. An explanation of where the auto-filled data is derived and steps for adding/updating the required data is also included.
Note: The Employee Card should be used for updating an existing employee record. The employee record is created through the ‘On-Boarding’ process and includes the employee data entered in the HR Request form for adding a new employee and a number of supporting tables generated from the default values per HR Position information.
Once the record is created through this process, HR and Payroll need to ensure all the data elements required to process payroll are in place. A system of pre-defined tasks and workflow ensures the HR representative or Payroll clerk has the record and tasks to be performed in their appropriate ‘Inbox’. Once the required tasks are performed, the user can set the record to ‘next step’ passing the workflow to the next person responsible for the employee setup.
Opening an Employee Record Using the Employee List

Time Attendance Information
The Time-Attendance page enables you to review and track an employee’s attendance details and edit some of the details for time entry.
The Employee Balances area lists all Attendance Codes (Absence Registration Codes) regardless of an employee’s specific entitlement. If the employee is entitled, the values appear in the ‘Entitlement’ column. If an employee consumed days for which there are no specific entitlements, it is indicated in the ‘Used’ column.
The information is high-level providing a snapshot of employee absences by category (cause of absence code) broken down by entitlement and the amount used to date.
The values that drive these calculations can be updated in the following ways:
- Payroll Calculations: Attendance balances that calculate each pay period are typically updated through the payroll calculations and payroll controls that generate entitlement entries in the Absence Registration table. See your Payroll documentation for details on setting these up.
- EWA – Employee Attendance Request: Employees can make an attendance request over the Employee Center. These entries are recorded immediately in the Absence Registration table with a status of ‘Pending’ until they are approved by the Manager.
- Absence Registration: Records can be manually recorded for the employee using Absence Registration. See the ‘Registering and Analyzing Employee Absences’ section for more details.
To access the Employee Time Attendance page:
- From the HR Employee Card, on the Home Ribbon, click Time Attendance.
The Employee Time Attendance page displays.
- The following provides a description for the fields on this page:
| Field | Details |
| Cause of Absence Code | Displays the code for the cause of absence. |
| Category Code | Displays the category code. |
| Cause of Absence Description | Displays the description for the absence code. This field is automatically populated based on the absence code. |
| Allow Multiple Entitlements | Add a checkmark if multiple entitlements are allowed. |
| Accrued | Displays the accrued time of for this Cause of Absence. |
| Entitlement | Displays the time/days entitlement for the absence. This column sums all positive entries in the Absence Registration for the employee. It sums the Quantity Base amount so the value will be in the base unit of measure specified in the Base Unit of Measure column even if it was recorded in a different unit of measure. |
| Used | Displays the number of days/hours of the absence entitlement the employee has used/taken to date. This column sums all negative entries in the Absence Registration for the employee. It sums the Quantity Base amount so the value will be in the base unit of measure specified in the Base Unit of Measure column even if it was recorded in a different unit of measure. |
| Pending | Indicates the number of requests the employee has submitted over the Employee Center. Pending refers to absence requests not yet approved by a manager. |
| Balance | Displays the number of days/hours of the absence entitlement the employee has left. This column sums (nets positive against negative) all entries in the Absence Registration for the employee. It sums the Quantity Base amount so the value will be in the base unit of measure specified in the ‘Base Unit of Measure’ column even if it was recorded in a different unit of measure. |
| Unit of Measure | Displays the base unit of measurement by which the absence entitlement is calculated (days, hours). This is configured on the Human Resources Setup page in the General FastTab. All units of measure are converted to the base unit of measure based on the ratios configured in Human Resources Unit of Measure. |

Carry Over Allowed |
Add a checkmark to this check box if carry-over of any portion of the remaining balance of the Cause of Absence is allowed during the year-end carry-over process. |
| Max Allowable Carry Forward Units | If carry-over is allowed, enter the maximum number of carry-over units allowed. If there is no maximum, leave this field at zero. |
| Max Excess Carry Forward Units | If carry-over is allowed, enter the maximum number of excess units that can be carried forward. |
| Use Current Year Entitlement | Add a checkmark to this checkbox if current year entitlement is to be used as a part of the calculation of the carry-over amount (for example, vacation). |
| Use Previous Year Entitlement | Add a checkmark to this checkbox if next year entitlement is to be used as a part of the calculation of the carry-over amount (for example, vacation). |
| Sequencing | Add a checkmark in this check box if sequencing of balances is allowed for this value. For example, turn this on if this is a Current Year Vacation type code, but when entering a vacation request, you want the balances to be consumed from the "Vacation - Carry Over" balance before consuming current year vacation. |
| No. of Entitlements | This field displays the number of entitlement entries created for this value. |
| Annual Maximum | Enter the maximum number of units that can be processed as an entitlement for the current entitlement year. If the value is zero, then the entitlement to be granted within the entitlement year is unlimited. |
| Maximum Balance | Enter the number of units which the sum of all the Cause of Absence entries overall cannot exceed. For example, if there is a maximum annual entitlement of 10 units and a maximum balance of 25, then in the 3rd year only 5 units would be calculated for entitlements. |
| Partial Period Pro-Rated | Add a checkmark to this check box if the units are to be pro-rated for a portion of the entitlement year where an employee either starts work during the year or is on a contract that ends before the end of the entitlement year. The entitlement is pro-rated then based on the portion of the year deemed as the entitlement period. |
| Pro-Rated by FTE | Add a checkmark to this checkbox if the calculated entitlement units are to be pro-rated by the aggregate active assignment FTE for part-time employees with an F.T.E of less than 1.0. |
| No. of Sequencing Entries | This field displays the number of sequencing entries created for this entry. |
| Show Balances - Employee | Add a checkmark to this check box if this code will be displayed on Employee Center where balances are shown. Turn this on for all balances where you want the employee to see the balance. It is typically turned off for something like bereavement where balances are not usually displayed. |
| Create Entries - Employee | Add a checkmark to this check box if this code will be available for the employee to enter a request. In some cases, you may want employees to see balances but not make entries for a particular code. |
| Show Balances - Manager | Add a checkmark to this check box if this code will be displayed on Manager Employee Center where balances are shown. Turn this on for all balances where you want the manager to see a balance. |
| Create Entries - Manager | Add a checkmark to this check box if this code will be available for the manager to enter a request. In some cases, you may want managers to see balances but not make entries for a particular code. |
| Calculate Entitlement | Add a checkmark to this check box to calculate entitlements. |
| Use Schedule Quantity | If this option is checked, the system checks the schedule to determine how much time off is needed. If the Use Schedule Quantity checkbox is not checked, the absence request will be populated with the hours based on the assignment of the employee. |
Understanding Time Entry
The time entry fields Time Entry Type, TE Hrs Per Pay Period, and TE Approver drive how Time Entry behaves on Employee Center. These fields are not applicable if EWA Time Entry Portal is not being used.
For more details consult the Time Entry Setup and Administration Guide.
