There are a number of reasons why managers may want to cancel a termination of an employee or contingent worker. For example, during the notice period a worker may decide to continue with the employer. Managers may need to revert the termination even after the last day of employment is passed. Oracle SSHR enables managers to cancel or reverse the termination of employment or placement. Managers can process reverse termination actions using Oracle SSHR.
On the actual termination date, a worker's person type will be employee or contingent worker. The day next to the actual termination date, the worker's person type changes to ex-employee or ex-contingent worker
Managers can process reverse termination provided an employee is not rehired or a contingent worker has not started a new placement.
Managers can search for workers who have an actual termination date to initiate the process of reverse termination. They can search for workers in a business group or use search criteria such as last name, job, or position.
In the Person search field, managers can select any one of the options:
All
When selected, the search includes employees and contingent workers whose actual termination date is earlier than the current date, later than the current date, or is equal to the current date
Employee
When selected, the search includes employees whose actual termination date is earlier than the current date, later than the current date, or the current date.
Contingent Worker
When selected, the search includes contingent workers whose actual termination date is earlier than the current date, later than the current date, or the current date.
The Actual Termination Date field criteria helps managers to perform searches using different date criteria.
For example:
Using the Is Condition, managers can search for workers whose termination date is equal to a specific date entered in the date field. For example, managers can select the Is condition, and search for workers with termination date of 01-APR-2010.
Managers can enter a date range to search for terminated employees or contingent workers whose termination date is set at a future date. For example, if the current date is 01-MAY-2010, they can select the 'Is Between' condition and enter dates 01-FEB-2010 and 01-JUN-2010. The search result displays workers who are terminated and whose termination date is set to a future date.
Managers can also search for workers whose termination date is later or earlier than the entered date.
Note: If an ex-employee's rehire is pending approval or an ex-contingent worker's new placement is pending approval, the search results display these workers. However, managers cannot process reverse terminations for these workers.
Using the Show Future Dated Terminations Only check box, managers can filter the search results for workers (employees and contingent workers) whose actual termination date is later date than the current date.
The search results table includes columns such as full name, business group, location, and actual termination date to help identify a worker to process reverse termination.
In the Current Person Type column, the record indicates the person type as on the current date.
For a worker, whose actual termination date has passed as on the current date, the search results display the worker as an ex-employee or ex-contingent worker person type.
For a worker whose actual termination date is set at a future date, the search results display the worker as an employee or contingent worker person type.
Managers can click the Details icon to view information of the worker before reversing the termination. The search results show the leaving reason. You can review this information before processing reverse termination.
On the Reverse Termination and Review pages, the worker's assignment details are read-only. Managers can review the details and submit the transaction for approval. When managers submit the reverse termination transaction, Oracle SSHR routes the transaction for approval based on the approvals setup in the enterprise.
When an approver receives the reverse termination notification for approval, the Update and Return for Correction functions are not available on the Notification page.
The following sections explain changes to the worker records after a reverse termination action is approved:
When managers process reverse termination for an employee after the actual termination date, the reverse termination action clears the termination details and restores the assignment to the status prior to the termination. The person type changes from Ex-Employee to Employee
When managers process reverse termination for a contingent worker after the actual termination date, the reverse termination action clears the termination details and restores the assignment to the status prior to the termination. The person type changes from Ex-Contingent Worker to Contingent Worker
When managers process reverse termination for an employee or a contingent worker prior to the actual termination date or on the date equal to the actual termination date, the reverse termination action clears the termination details and restores the assignment of the employee or contingent worker to the status prior to the termination. The person type remains Employee or Contingent worker.
