Changing an employee's job

Use the Change Job task when an employee has a new job or transfers from one organization to another within a selected employer. For example, an employee might be transferring from the sales department to the marketing department.

To change an employee's job or place in the organization:

  1. Select Employees > Tasks > Change Job.
  2. From the table of employees, select the employee whose job you want to change, and then click OK.
  3. Use the Review Job Information page (which is identical to the Current Job page) to enter changes:

    1. On the Job tab, make any changes to the employee's Job Title, Job Classification, and Employee Status as well as enter the Change Effective date (which initially is today's date), and the Change Reason.

      Note: If the reason code is not in the list, it may be that the code was set to inactive and the Show Inactive Codes indicator (on the Enterprise Setup page) is set to No.
      You can also add a new code by selecting Add New Code from the list, entering a code and description, and clicking OK.

    2. On the Organization tab, make any changes to the employee's place in the organization, mail stop, manager, or supervisor.
    3. If applicable, on the Secondary Job tab, make any changes about other jobs the employee performs.
  4. When you are finished, click OK to save your changes.
  5. If you see a message asking about job history, click Yes or No.
