Confirming Employee Attributes

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to locate tables containing employee attribute characteristics

Employee Attributes

You have defined your employee groups and subgroups in your personnel structure. You must now assign an activity status, employment status, or training status value to the employee subgroups.

In several countries, this information is sent from the State Statistics Office . To store this information in the Customizing step, you need to choose Personnel Management→Personnel Administration→Organizational Data→Organizational Assignment→Define employee attributes on the IMG screen.

​For activity status, following are the possible entries:

  • 1 = Active employee
  • 2 = Retiree
  • 3 = Early Retiree
  • 9 = Other
  • 4 = Part-time work for retirees

For employment status, following are the possible entries:

  • 1 = Industrial Worker/hourly paid worker
  • 2 = Salaried Employee
  • 3 = Civil servant
  • 9 = Other

For training status, following are the possible entries:

  • 1 = Trainee/Apprentice
  • 2 = Trained
  • 9 = Other

Note

The existing values are transferred from the copy template when you copy the employee subgroup using the entity copier.

If necessary, you can specify additional differentiation in the employee statuses of your employees so that they are not dependent on the employee subgroup assignments but are created in the Terms of Employment field of the Organizational Assignment infotype. To do this, in the IMG, choose Personnel Management→Personnel Administration→Organizational Data→Organizational Assignment→Define terms of employment .

Note

National and international evaluations use these statuses to select and summarize personal data or to represent national features.
