Employment Status

HR data will provide position status and you can map its value to different employee lifecycle. At the run time, the workflow will check the status mapping and decide which lifecycle to perform for the employee record.

Employment Status

Select the attributes which represent start date and last day worked of an employee in your HR system. The attributes need to be defined in the "HR Data Definition" step.

If your HR system supports both Hire Date and Rehire Date options, you can select from their respective dropdown. Otherwise, if your HR system only offers a Start Date option, Rehire Date is set to 'None' bydefault.

When you choose the type of leave in the 'Lifecycle Business Rules' section, you'll see options related to that specific leave type. From there, you'll pick an attribute that reflects the employee's position status. You'll need to assign values for various 'Leave status' categories.

Based on the operation you chose in the "Lifecycle Business Rules" step, you will see one or multiple options of status groups:

  • Hire, Rehire, or Profile Update
  • Long Term Leave
  • FMLA
  • Legal Leave
  • Security and Discipline Leave
  • Terminate

You need to map the value of "Position Status" to those groups. As shown in the image below:

  1. When position status from HR data is active, the workflow will perform hire, rehire or profile update operation
  2. When position status from HR data is leave, the workflow will perform leave operation
  3. When position status from HR data is terminated, the workflow will perform termination operation.

If you have multiple values in HR system, you can also map multiple values to status group using comma. For example, "Active, A, Hire" for Hire, Rehire or Profile Update; "LongLeave, LL" for Long Term Leave, "FMLA" for FMLA Leave, "LegalLeave, L" for Legal Leave, "SecurityDisciplineLeave, SD" for Security and Discipline Leave, and "Terminated, T" for "Terminate".
