Resolution
Employment Details / Employment Details Model:
- The example rule below uses this base object: Employment Details/Employment Details Model.
- Please note, the model name in the rule selection drop-down may be different depending on the label you use for this HRIS Element.
- In case of an alert, all records are created after new hire, that is why you have to use Employment Details Model as the base object.
Note:
Base object Employment details will not work for changes, it will work on new hire only. It is not effective dated.
Employee Information / Employee Information Model: (which is a navigation start point to all other entities)
- Employee Information is used only in new hire process, for example new hire on save rules, and so on.
- This refers to the hireActionBean
- Employee Information.jobinfo will not get any value after the employee has been hired into the system
Correct Example for an "Alert Rule" for a New Hire employee:
- This rule has the goal to set an alert for a US non-contactor employee
- The Base Object is set to Employment Details Model
- This rule will be called under the Employment Info (employementDetails) element within Manage Business Configuration or the Succession Data Model.
