2782372 - Time in Position wrong calculation for Contingent Worker

Symptom

 Time in Position for Contingent Worker returns two different values in portlet and history.

"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental."

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors - Employee Central
  • Contingent Worker

Reproducing the Issue

In employee profile:

  1. Go to the Contingent Worker
  2. Check the Time in Position field

Result:

The actual Time in Position is displayed.

After this, for the same employee:

  1. Click on history button

Result:

A different value will be displayed.

Resolution

 This is expected behavior, since contingent workers already has a start and end date, the time in position field will be calculated and displayed in two different ways:

  • For the employee profile the start date will be used to do the calculation
  • For history, the end date will be used.

The result is two distinct, but correct calculations, one for the people profile showing the actual time in position and another for the history with the whole time in position for the employee.
