Employment

Override Standard Working Hours in the Assignment

Use newly added attributes on the responsive employment pages to override the standard working hours defined in the assignment. These new attributes are added - assignment standard working hours and frequency. If values are specified in these attributes, they are used in calculating the FTE instead of the derived standard working hours.

Derive Standard Working Hours from Job and Location for Assignment

Derive the standard working hours and frequency from position, job, location, department, legal employer, and enterprise, in that order. Job and Location are new entities in this derivation hierarchy.

Calculate and Store Adjusted FTE in Responsive Employment Pages

Streamline your business processes with the addition of the Adjusted FTE feature in responsive employment pages. This value is calculated by multiplying the FTE value with the ratio of annual working duration and standard annual working duration.

Changes to Load Additional Assignment Info

Streamline loading of additional assignment info (EFF) using HCM Data Loader. The change is that extensible flexfield (EFF) data will be loaded only if there's a corresponding assignment split on that date.

Securing Pending Worker Dashboard

Use the Responsive pending worker dashboard, and its row-level individual actions are now secured with data security policies. Plus, validation is added to the quick convert ESS process if the logged-in user has the required data security policy when the user selects one or more pending workers for quick conversion.

Journeys

Last Name Validation for Native Electronic Signature in Journeys

Leverage the additional name validation option of only using the last name in the native electronic signature journey task.

Nudges for Journey Reminders

Use the following nudges to remind employees and managers about their journey and task statuses:

1. Journey not completed
2. Task in journey not complete
3. Journey has overdue tasks
4. Journey not started

Make use of the enhanced Update Assigned Journey Attributes Based on Modified Journey Template process to synchronize journey configuration changes to the assigned journeys and tasks. The process now supports syncing of expiry and target duration attributes.

Defer the creation of the document to be signed in DocuSign until the time the user initiates the DocuSign journey task.

Replaced features may be put on a path of removal, the features below will let you know what update you will have to have moved to the newer feature. As a best practice, you should move to the newer feature as soon as possible for full support and to stay up with the latest updates that the product offers.

Any feature that is removed, will have an Update in which that feature is no longer available. Please make necessary plans to move off the feature by the Update indicated, as it will no longer be available.

V2 Seniority Dates Removed in Update 23B

Take note, Seniority Dates V2 is removed in Update 23B. We recommend you move to seniority dates V3 to leverage the latest capabilities. However, we will continue to support seniority dates V1 and customers have an option to choose if they want to use V1 or V3 seniority dates.
