Changing Primary Assignments
Over time, a secondary assignment may need to be elevated to a primary assignment. Most companies have requirements to show the history of changes in an employee's record.This process will create two historical records: one showing a secondary assignment that lasted from x day to y date, and the other showing that the primary assignment started as one set of components and then changed to another set of components (which are the same as the secondary assignment) as of a particular date.
To change a primary assignment:
- 1. Create a new assignment "B" as a secondary assignment.
- 2. Set an effective date for the assignment to become the employee's primary assignment.
- 3. Change Assignment "B" to be the primary assignment by selecting the Primary checkbox in the Miscellaneous alternative region.
