To create or update employee groups

  1. Access Employee Group Update (HR155).
    Note: If you change an employee group that is a subgroup of another employee group, you must first update the subgroup and then update the group it is a part of. If you are updating All Groups, this will be handled automatically by the program.

    Use the following guidelines to enter field values:

    Update Option

    Select whether you want to update one group, all groups with changed criteria, or all groups.

    If you select One Group, select an employee group in the Employee Group field.

    If you select All Groups with Changed Criteria, the application updates all employee groups whose criteria have been changed on Employee Groups by Criteria (HR55.3).

    If you select All Groups, the application updates all employee groups, even if the criteria have not changed. For example, during the initial conversion, you can run Employee Conversion (HR511) run with the Employee Group flag set to No. After you run HR511, you can run HR155 with option 3 to update all employee groups.

    Employee Group

    Select the employee group you want to update.

    Report Employees

    Select how employees should be listed for each updated group. If employees are not listed, then the report will include just the group name and selection criteria for that group. If employees are not listed, the report will take less time to process.

    History Date

    Type the effective date for the group update. The history date must be less than or equal to the current system date.

    Update Absence Management

    Select whether you want this batch update to create an Employee Absence Group Audit (LP35.1) record for each employee updated into or out of an employee group. The History Date will be stored as the effective date on any records created.

  2. Run the report.
