Why correct an employee history record?

You change history records when incorrect information is part of a history record. The following are possible reasons why an employee's history requires correcting.

• A mistake was made when entering information; for instance, a salary increase was processed for the wrong employee number

• A personnel action was performed for the wrong effective date

• A personnel action was performed but one of the fields was updated incorrectly

• A personnel action was updated with the wrong personnel action code

• Employee information is changed retroactively

Once changes are made to the current record to correct an error, correct the employee history record as necessary.
