You cannot create the person record in isolation because a person record requires one of the following:
A current, past, or future work relationship with a legal employer
A current, past, or future contact relationship with a person who has a work relationship with a legal employer
Person records hold information that is personal, such as name, date of birth, and disability information, or that may apply to more than one
work relationship, such as national ID. By contrast, work relationships hold employment information, such as job, payroll, and working hours.
A person's worker type (for example, employee) derives from the person's work relationship; it is not part of the person record.
You create a person record either when you add the person as a contact (for example, as an emergency contact) in another person's record or
when you create the person's first work relationship in the enterprise. For example, you create a person record by:
Hiring an employee
Adding a contingent worker
Adding a nonworker
Adding a pending worker
A pending worker is a person who will be hired or will start a contingent worker placement and for whom you create a person record that is
effective before the hire or start date. When the new hire or placement is finalized, you convert the new worker to the proposed worker type.
Person records are global, independent of legal employers, and created once only for any person. If the person leaves the enterprise, you
terminate the person's work relationships. If the person later rejoins the enterprise, you create a new work relationship. The person record
continues to exist, even when the person has no current work relationships in the enterprise and no current contact relationships with
other workers.
Rehiring an Employee
Sonia Jalla starts her employment with the enterprise in France next month. Sonia was employed by the enterprise in the United States for several years,
but resigned 3 years ago. Because Sonia was employed by the enterprise before, she already has a person record. When you attempt to hire Sonia, the
application finds her existing person record. When you confirm that the existing person record is Sonia's, you continue the rehire process by creating an
employee work relationship with Sonia's new legal employer in France.

employee work relationship with Sonia's new legal employer in France.
Hiring a Nonworker
Arturo Ruiz has a nonworker work relationship with a legal employer. Arturo recently applied for employment with the same legal employer. He will continue
as a volunteer for this legal employer even after he has been hired. When you attempt to hire Arturo, the application finds his person record. When you
confirm that the person record is Arturo's, you continue the hiring process by creating an employee work relationship with the legal employer. Arturo will
then have both nonworker and employee work relationships with the same legal employer.

as a volunteer for this legal employer even after he has been hired. When you attempt to hire Arturo, the application finds his person record. When you
confirm that the person record is Arturo's, you continue the hiring process by creating an employee work relationship with the legal employer. Arturo will
then have both nonworker and employee work relationships with the same legal employer.
Hiring a Contact
Mary is married to Joe Wood, who is a contingent worker elsewhere in the enterprise. Joe has identified Mary as an emergency contact; therefore, Mary
already has a person record. When you attempt to hire Mary Wood, if there is enough information in her contact record to identify her, the application finds
her existing person record. You continue the hiring process by creating an employee work relationship with her new legal employer. Otherwise, the hiring
process creates both a person record and a work relationship for Mary.
For example, if your enterprise refers to its employees as associates instead of employees, you change the Employee user person type to Associate. In
another example, if you want to classify employees further as equity partners, non-equity partners, and associates, you add these user person types
under the Employee system person type. There is no limit to the number of user person types that you can add to a system person type.
Once a person record exists, you can create additional work relationships with the same or different legal employers.
When a person has multiple current work relationships, you cannot terminate the primary work relationship without first selecting a different
primary relationship. This restriction exists because a current worker or nonworker cannot be without a primary work relationship for any period
of time.
Employment terms are available in employee and nonworker work relationships only; they are not available in contingent worker
relationships.
You know that a person will have multiple similar assignments in a work relationship. Assignments automatically inherit any information that
you enter in employment terms. Because you enter the information once only, using employment terms is efficient and promotes
consistency among related assignments.
You want to limit or prevent changes made directly to the assignments. If your enterprise or legal employer has prevented override at
the assignment level, then you cannot edit on the assignment any information inherited from the employment terms. Instead, you edit the
employment terms, and all associated assignments inherit the changes.
You want to produce a formal contract that applies to all of the assignments associated with the employment terms.
You pay workers a salary amount that is not related to the number of assignments they have. Because the salary amount is fixed, it is
more efficient to enter and maintain salary information for the employment terms.
Primary Assignments
You must identify one assignment as the primary assignment in each work relationship. When a person has multiple work relationships, the
overall primary assignment is the primary assignment in the primary work relationship.
In this example, assignment C is the overall primary assignment because it is the primary assignment in the primary work relationship.
The application creates numbers for automatic allocation by prefixing the person number with the character E (for
employee), C (for contingent worker), or N (for nonworker). A person's second and subsequent assignments of the same
type have a suffix number. For example:
E45678
E45678-2
E45678-3
The person number in this example is 45678. The suffix-number sequence is global and ensures that assignment
numbers are unique in the enterprise. If the same person also has assignments of other types, the number sequence for
those assignments starts from 1. For example:
N45678
N45678-2
Each assignment contains an assignment status. The assignment status contains an HR status, a payroll status, and
optionally user statuses. The HR status and payroll status values are linked to the assignment status and are set
automatically when the assignment status changes.
Consider the attribute values of assignments A, B, and C. The job values are the same in all assignments because they are
inherited from the employment terms. The location and working as a manager values can be different in each assignment
because they are not inherited from the employment terms in this example.
If override at the assignment level is not allowed, you edit the employment terms instead and all associated
assignments automatically inherit the changed values
