This articles explains how to use Payscale option "Seniority By Payscale Code" for setting up more than one employment relation.
1) Purpose
Option "Seniority By Payscale Code" allows to divide Payroll seniority of a person by different Payscales.
This means when an employee is shifting between payscale codes "positions" the system tracks the seniority worked in each payscale code separately.
Sample: A crew members collected 4 years of seniority working with payscale A and 1 year with payscale B.
This means that the system can detect which seniority to use when the person is sailing on payscale A (4 years) or on payscale B (1 year).
2) Setup and Configuration
Set checkbox for Seniority By Payscale Code under Payscale Table properties.
Select activity codes that will calculate seniority.
Go to Personal Details > Seniority tab of a person linked to this Payscale table and manually add Payscale codes for which you would like to calculate seniority.
When adding a new record select Payscale code that you need to calculate Seniority for. Define start and end date within which person had activities linked to this Payscale and the system will automatically calculate the seniority.
You can also define Pre-earned seniority for this type of payscale in case a person came from some other company.
By default Seniority shows amounts in the following way: 1.0000 means one year, everything that is less then 1.0000 means a definite part of year (ex. 0,2345 of 1 year).
In future it will be possible to display seniority in YY:MM:DD by turning on user option “Seniority in YY:MM:DD Format”. However, it is still under development APM-3205.
