Did you know
The concurrent hire template and the voluntary termination template must be used when transferring an employee from an academic to staff position or from a staff to academic position.
- EMPL records can only contain the same classified indicators as the initial job that was used to establish that EMPL record.
- Once a record is setup as staff, only staff jobs can be added to the record moving forward, and vice versa. Once a record is setup as academic, only academic jobs can be added to that record moving forward.
- This logic is built in to the templates – which is why there are staff and academic versions of the templates (UC_FULL_HIRE & UC_FULL_HIRE_AC).
- This is also the rationale for the “Transfer-Intra Location” reason code that is built in to the appropriate hire and termination templates.
