Create Seniority Adjustments From Payroll
The Create Seniority Adjustments From Payroll process will calculate the seniority from the specified payroll and create seniority adjustment records with the equivalent amount. This process looks at the employee's seniority bank list on the hire screen to see what banks to accumulate. Each bank determines how the seniority is to be calculated.
The frequency which you run this process depends how current you want to maintain the seniority. Running this process after each pay period will ensure that the seniority adjustments are always current. If seniority only gets updated once a year, then running this process once a year is adequate.
Running this process by itself will not affect an employee's seniority. It must be followed by the Load Seniority With Adjustment process.
This process allows you to select what pay periods to calculate the seniority from. If you run this process more than once for the same periods, the system will perform internal checks to ensure that duplicate entries are not made.
You do not need to run this process if your seniority is already stored in payroll storage banks and you do not want to duplicate the seniority history detail in HR. This can be done by 6=Load Seniority From Storage Banks Process.
