Symptom

  • When the user is changing the email address in current employment, the email address is changed in the past employment as well. (vice versa)

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Personal Information

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to contact information of current employment of a user.
  2. Change the email address to a new email address --> save.
  3. Navigate to past employment of the user and you will see that the new email address is reflecting in the contact information of the past employment as well.

Cause

Contact information is person-based, not employment based.

Resolution

This is an expected behavior. Contact information is person-based, so it will be shared among all employments. 

It is not possible to keep different contact information for each employment.

This behavior is the same for all person based sections, such as address information, personal information and so on. 

Note: When the employee is rehired through rehire inactive employee and a new email address is added while hiring then the same email address will be reflecting in the past employment as well.
