Creation of a New Employment Instance versus Existing Job Data Record Update

Purpose: Use this document as a reference for when to add a new employment instance versus updating an existing one.  

Audience: Human Resources Specialist

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZC HR Employee Maintenance
  • ZZ HR Employee Maintenance
  • ZZ SS Workforce Administrator

IMPORTANT: When an employee moves to a different position in the middle of a payroll processing cycle, create a new employment instance instead of updating an existing one.  

Update of part-time faculty’s job data record to a new position status should be done after faculty’s pay lines have been fully extracted for payment from FWL to HCM.
