Manage Mass Changes in Employee Central
Introduction :
Mass Changes is a feature with in Employee Central manage changes to employees' job information and job relationships which can be based on Employee Group. With this feature HR Admins can efficiently execute changes to employees' attributes such as manager reassignments, or reorganizations affecting large numbers of employees in mass
The HR Admin defines a mass change consisting of:
Employee Grouping: An employee selection using a group definition tool similar to the one that are used for permissions.
The effective date that determines when the changes should take into effect.
The list of fields to be changed, including their new value.
The mass change definition can then be saved and initiated immediately or saved and initiated later. Initiating a mass change creates a background job that is scheduled for immediate execution. After mass change has run, a new status is set, dependent on the result. In the event of errors, the user can access a log to analyze the changes that failed.
