Maintaining employees in Infor Global HR

If the Integrated to External HR option is selected in the Human Resources Parameters form, your company’s employee records are maintained in the Infor Global HR application. New employees must be added or deleted only in Infor Global HR. New or updated employee records are sent to SyteLine through BODs.

These fields are disabled in the SyteLine Employees form and must be maintained in Infor Global HR:

  • Employee number
  • All name and address fields
  • Gender
  • Marital status
  • Birthdate
  • Nationality
  • Home phone
  • Hire date
  • Termination date
  • Employee type
  • External HR Status

New employee records from Infor Global HR have these field values set by default, but they can be modified in SyteLine:

  • Wage Account defaults from the Payroll Parameters form.
  • Shift defaults from the Human Resources Parameters form.
  • Generate Payroll From defaults to Time & Attendance.
  • Military defaults to None.

Time off requests should also be handled through Infor Global HR. The information is sent back to SyteLine for accounting purposes.

Employee Skills, Employee Cert/Licenses, and Absence Reasons codes should be maintained in Infor Global HR, not in SyteLine.

In either of the following cases, the “Send Email Regarding HR Status Activity” workflow event handler is triggered:

  • The External HR Status is changed on an existing employee record by a BOD from Infor Global HR.
  • A new employee record is added by a BOD from Infor Global HR.

This handler can be set up to email a specific SyteLine user when these changes occur. That user can then update SyteLine-specific information as needed for that employee record.
