Manager’s Hire Date Correction

[pboulicaut]

Does other customers are facing issue with manager’s hire date correction ?

Business case :

Alex ANDERSON is the manager of Nancy NASH.

Mgr (hire date : nov 1)

 |

Emp ( hire date : nov 3)

Nancy is a valid employee when she arrives :

Her manager is active in the system and 

Alex Hire Date <= Nancy Hire Date

All processes with manager’s approval and valid manager checks works .

Now alex is warning HR he will be arriving on Nov 20 2023.

HR do perform an Hire date correction on Alex Anderson ( but don’t do anything on Nancy records)

Mgr (hire date : nov 20)

 |

Emp ( hire date : nov 3)

From these moment, Nancy is an invalid employee, because she ´s having an invalid manager.

Alex Hire Date >=  Nancy Hire Date

All processes with manager’s approval and valid manager checks won’t works  until nov 20th.

Org chart is displaying a manager for nancy that is not active.

All GxP processes relying on valid chain of command have now an issue.

Check tool > Validation will not detect nancy as an invalid employee ( which is a problem to detect true data quality issues)

API will continue to send Nancy to other applications with a manager currently not active. Thés will cause some chain effects on those applications if the employee (nancy) requires approval ( since alex is not hired until nov20) 

If you are facing similar issue what security measures did you put to prevent these case from occurring ?

Hi, We use Position Management in Employee Central. If a manager (the higher-level position) is inactive (not filled), the next-level manager is the manager of the employee until the first-level manager position is filled when the manager does start. There is always an active manager this way, either the intended first-level manager or the second-level manager. This is one of the benefits of position management in Employee Central.
