Seniority Bank Code Database Maintenance
Seniority Bank Codes are used to define different types of seniority for employees. The types of seniority you want to track will be determined by your collective bargaining agreement. You may need to accumulate only one type of seniority or track several. Some districts track full time and casual seniority. Depending on current employee status (full time, casual or on probation), the employee's seniority will be made up of just the full time seniority, just the casual seniority or the total of both. While three different seniority types are mentioned here, there are only two types of seniority - full time and casual. Seniority Codes determine how and if the seniority types are to be added together.
Seniority bank codes are used in the Create Seniority Adjustments From Payroll process to determine how to calculate the seniority from your payroll(s).
There are two types of seniority banks. Seniority Bank Type 1 will read through your payroll year to date history file and accumulate time from the specified storage bank pay codes. Seniority Bank Type 2 will accumulate time directly from the specified storage banks. Each seniority bank code can also have up to 15 payrolls attached to it. For each payroll you have specified, you can attach up to 10 storage bank codes. Help from payroll staff will likely be required in establishing the necessary storage banks.
Up to five seniority bank codes can be attached to each employee to determine the seniority types to accumulate for each employee. There is a process that will globally add seniority banks and codes to groups of employees.
