V3 Termination and Resignation

Enhance terminations and resignations in Global Human Resources by using the new version 3 (V3) Terminate Employment and Resign from Employment pages. HR Specialists and Line Managers can use the Terminate Employment page and Employees and Contingent Workers can use the Resign from Employment page. The new termination page uses assignment-level security which means that you can only terminate an assignment for which you have access. You can terminate the work relationship only if you have access to all the assignments in the work relationship. Based on your access privilege, the application will automatically display the termination page that you can use.

In the current V2 pages, you can only terminate or resign from the whole work relationship. However, the new V3 termination pages gives you an option to terminate or resign either from the whole work relationship or a specific assignment (if you have more than one assignment).

Note: If you are already using the assignment-level security feature, you can consider to opt-in for V3 termination.

• You have the option to either terminate a work relationship with all its assignments or just a specific assignment in a work relationship.

• You can resign from a whole work relationship or from a specific assignment in a work relationship. You can’t terminate an assignment that you don’t have access to because of built-in assignment-level security.

• You can view the termination and resignation details for a work relationship or assignment based on your access after you perform a termination or resignation.

• Correct assignment and work relationship termination.

• Reverse assignment and work relationship termination.

• Withdraw assignment and work relationship resignation.
