The Change Manager function enables a user to perform the following operations on a selected employee or worker and assignment:
specify which other employees or workers report to the selected manager
reassign the selected employee or worker to report to a different manager
reassign the subordinates of the selected employee or worker to one or more managers
Multiple Assignments and the Change Manager Function
In a manager-subordinate relationship, the manager's ID is stored against the subordinate's assignment. If the profile HR: Enable Multiple Assignments in SSHR is set to No, only primary assignments are displayed. If the profile HR: Enable Multiple Assignments in SSHR is set to Yes, other assignments will also be displayed. In situations where a subordinate employee or worker has more than one assignment, it is important to select which of the assignments is to report to the manager. In practice, this means that you may have to select between multiple assignments when you select the employee or worker for whom you are using the Change Manager function and when you select the direct reports for the selected employee or worker. In these cases, the lists of values will contain several fields (including Job, Department, Assignment Number, Location, Grade, Position, and Business Group) to help you select the correct assignment. If you are using an assignment-based security profile, you can also specify an assignment for a manager if you are reassigning a selected employee or worker, or the subordinates for the selected employee or worker, to a different manager.
Note: You can choose to display the additional fields mentioned above (Job, Department, Assignment Number, and so on) as fields on the Change Manager pages using the Personalization Framework. If you display these fields, they are populated when you select a manager assignment.
If you are using assignment-level security, only those assignments for which you are the named supervisor are displayed. This means that you can only perform the Change Manager function on those available assignments.
For more information, see: Assignment-Level Security.
