9.2 Add a New Employee Person Record and Job Instance

Purpose: Use this document as a reference for how to add a person/employee and a job instance in ctcLink.

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

ZD HCM SOGI - View SOGI role is required for users to view Pronouns and SOGI on the Personal Data page.
Access to Add/Update Personal Data Biographical fields are given though the other roles listed above.

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

IMPORTANT: Before you begin this process, be sure to perform the Search Match process to verify if the person has an existing Employee ID.

Refer to the QRG titled: Performing a Search Match

Add a New Employee Person Record and Job Instance

Due to a new HCM>FSCM Oracle sync Issue, any updates to the name fields in HCM (including adding new employees) will result in blank name fields in the FSCM>Expenses Employee Profiles. Corrections to the profiles will need to be made manually. The Blank fields will need to be populated before you are able to save any other EX Profile updates.  We are working with Oracle on a solution.

  12. Enter the County (optional).
  13. Select OK.

Warning: If the system does not recognize the address it will list potential alternatives. Select the Override Address Verification box to bypass.

  5. In the Email Address section, enter the details regarding the email account.
    • Select the Email Type from the drop-down menu.
    • Enter the Email Address.  
    • Select the Preferred check box.

IMPORTANT: In order for new employees to receive email notifications through ctcLink (a vital part of the absence management process etc.), their Primary Email Address needs to be set up in the User Profile area of PeopleSoft.  You will not have access to this area.

However, you must add this Primary email address in the biographical area in addition to any other email addresses you may include. It does not need to be checked as Preferred, but should be entered as Campus. Contact your Local Security Administrators at your college for this address.  

This is important as the Primary email address (e.g. [email protected]) drives Workflow and is located in the User Profile (security) area.

Local Security Administrators may or may not have the ability to update the User Profile in PeopleSoft, however they will be able to tell you what the Primary email address will be.  

Since the User Profile is automatically generated each night and is updated based on who was hired earlier that day,  best practice is to add the employee record in HCM on the same day as the Primary email address is entered in the User Profile area.      

If it is not entered on the same day, and your Local Security Administrator does not have access to this area, they will have to log a Service Ticket and Olympia ERP staff will update the User Profile.  If they do have access, they can update the User Profile for you after the fact.  

To efficiently set up the primary email address both in the User Profile and in the Biographical areas, your college should develop, and communicate, an internal business process that will ensure that this setup is not missed when you on-board an employee.
