Country Reassignment

This has been a debated discussion for awhile. When a person goes on international
transfer (aka: country reassignment), will they get a new !R"R# The simple answer
is yes$ %& has a internal hard check that does not allow the same pernr to be in
multiple di'erent countries.
With %& (ersion ).* e+tension ,, and abo(e, %& deli(er a functionality called
-anagement of .lobal !mployees, a subset of Concurrent !mployment
functionality. This in itself introduces a whole new concept of tracking employees
(see my help document of -.! on this website). With the concept of !R%/" ,0, it
is a central ,0 now link to multiple !R"Rs (also known as personnel assignments).
When a person goes on international transfer 1 country re2assignment, it is re3uired
by %& for you to get a new personnel assignment number (!R"R). With that, in
your con4guration of personnel action, there is a check bo+ 5ag to signify the action
type is a country re2assignment.
When you 5ip this 5ag, only purpose it ser(es is when you run an action (ia &)6, it
ask you to choose an action to put one record in withdrawn status and another to
put in acti(e status. ,n blunt put, terminate one and hire other.
When using this method, be prepare to ha(e 7 personnel actions setup to handle
this. /ne to be trigger (ia the &)6 and two to be trigger within &)6 transaction.
,n short, when a person goes on international transfer, you will be re3uired by %&
to introduce to him1her a new !R"R. 8ou can still track them as one indi(idual
through the & side using !R%/" ,0 or through the /- side using the central
person concept.
"ow it comes back to the population 3uestion. Can , 9"/T9 ha(e %& force me to
create a new !R"R when a person goes on international transfer 1 country re2
assignment. The answer is also yes. 8ou can refer to %& /%% "ote ::;66* for
further detail. <owe(er, if you focus on the last phrase from %&, this is "/T the
recommended option and %& will "/T support you if a problem does occur.
