Greetings,

A new feature for No-Show for New hire was introduced in 1911.

 

What is it?

A new ‘Take Action' Report No-Shows which calls a UI (resembling a simplified version of the termination screen). When saving the new ‘Action’ a new Job Information record is created which begins on the exact date of the hire: On the hire date a new intra-date event is created which makes sure that the newly hired has not a single active day in the system. If the ‘no-show’ action takes place before the hire date the user will never be synched ‘active’ in the User-sys-Info. In case it takes place on or after the hire date it will be inactivated retrospectively.

 

Why is it important?

It is a common phenomenon that previously hired employees to ignore their signed contracts and do not show up to start their new employment. Current workarounds (typically a termination after the fact becomes known) leaves one big problem, the employee will have at least one active day after termination was executed which is a distortion of what really happened and might cause severe problems especially in the payroll.

Below are the steps to be followed to configure this feature.

Step 1:

You need the correct permissions for this action. User Permissions>Employee Data >HR Actions >Report No-Shows.



 

Step 2:

You have to add a new picklist value for the Event picklist with “NS” as external code and “No Show” as the label.



Step 3:

You have to add a new picklist value for the Employee-Status picklist with “RNS” as external code and “Reported No Show” as the label.



Step 4:

You have to create the new event reason in Admin Center > Manage Organization, Pay, and Job Structures and assigned it to the No Show event. For employee status, select 'Reported No Show'.



Step 5:

You have to give correct permissions for the event reason: User Permissions > Employee Data > Event Reasons.



Step 6:

Assuming today is 28th November 2019 and employee is hired on 22nd November 2019 i.e No-show action takes place after the hire date. A new record will be created in Job information with an effective date as the employee's hire date (22nd November 2019) even if the No-Show action is triggered on 28th November 2019.

Employee Hired on 22nd November 2019.



Employee Export file (UDF) where employee is active



Take action > Report No-shows





A record gets added in Job information with effective date as the hire date of an employee.



Employee Export file (UDF) where employee is now inactive.



 

Results:

Job Information and employment details are updated.


This information is passed on to time management and benefits for further processing.


Next Steps:

Any time account or accrual account must be rolled back and initialized.

If Position Management is enabled and the no-show employee is assigned to a position, then the field <deactivate position> must be set to Yes to release the position for new assignments.

Note:

The Take Action  Report No-Shows action is available only for a period of 30 days after the hire date of the employee.

If the no-show is a manager, and already has direct reports assigned, the admin can reassign those employees in the same way as in the Termination page.

You can also use the rule context in the BCUI for the no-show employees where rules are triggered for Job Information in that context.

Limitations:

This is not supported for contingent workers.


Do not use this feature if you use Employee Central Payroll.


 

Regards,

Dharmin
