Oracle HRMS and Oracle SSHR enable HR users to perform the following business transactions even if person type changes exist for a person's record at a future date:
Hire
Terminate
Rehire
Reverse Terminate
Note: HR users cannot perform the Cancel Hire and Cancel Placement functions if any person type changes exist in the future date for a person's record.
The HR:Future Dated Person Change profile option controls the ability of HR users to make person type changes even if future-dated changes in the person's record changes exist such as e-mail address, supervisor changes, and so on. For information about the profile option, see: HR:Future Dated Person Change
The following examples explain how this functionality works in some of the business cases:
John, who is an employee, has the effective hire date of 01-Jan-2010. John has applied to an internal vacancy as on 01-Jan-2011 and Oracle HRMS records the person type as employee.applicant. Meanwhile, John submits his resignation letter, which is accepted. The HR user can perform the termination action on a date prior to the application effective date, even if the future dated person type change (employee.applicant) exists for the employee. The HR user can end the employment of John as on 31-Aug-2010.
A contingent worker submits an application as of 09-October-2012. The organization is planning to hire the contingent worker as an employee on the same day. For the hire transaction to complete successfully, the placement must be end-dated at least one day prior to the hire date. The HR user can date-track to the previous date of 08-Oct-2012 and can end date the placement without encountering any error in Oracle HRMS.
Jane Bird is an employee with an effective hire date of 01-Jan-2010. She has applied to an internal vacancy with an effective date of 01-Jan-2011 and there is a termination record with an effective date of 31-Aug-2011. In such a scenario, if required, the HR can reverse the termination even if future dated person type changes exist for the person's record.
Ron Price is hired on 01-Jan-2012 and has designated Jane Price, who is an ex-employee (terminated on 01-Feb-2012) as his beneficiary. Ron Price will become eligible for benefits effective 30th March 2012. This creates a beneficiary record for Ron Price in Oracle HRMS effective 30-March-2012. Jane Price, the ex-employee also has a benefits record, which is effective 02-Feb-2012. In such a scenario, the HR user can rehire Jane Price on 01-March-2012, even if future person type and benefits record exist for Jane Price.
George Hare has applied to the HR Representative vacancy as on 01-Jan-2011 and his application is terminated as on 01-Feb-2011. Meanwhile, George applies to another vacancy with an effective date of 10-Feb-2011. In such a scenario, the recruiter can reconsider George's vacancy to the HR Representative vacancy even if a future dated person type change exists for George's record.
Sara Thomas, is a contingent worker, whose person record has a end placement record at a future date. Using Oracle iRecruitment, she can apply for an internal vacancy. If found suitable for the job opening, the recruiting manager can offer her the job. The HR user can enter the hire effective date prior to the end placement date, which is a future date.
