OVERWRITE_ENT_POLICY

Description

This parameter determines whether a new entitlement policy replaces any existing policy assignments when the dates overlap. The parameter applies whether a new policy is assigned using the Employee Import Interface or the Employee maintenance form. The parameter should only be set to true for organizations that maintain a "one policy per day" implementation.

When set to true, a new policy assignment replaces any existing policy assignments for the overlapping dates. The dates of the existing policies are adjusted to avoid overlapping. For example, an employee may have an EXEMPT policy that gets superseded by a NON-EXEMPT policy as of August 1, the day their exempt status changes within their organization. With this setting, the EXEMPT policy is end-dated on July 31 automatically, ensuring that the employee is not subscribed to two conflicting policies simultaneously.

Note: If the new policy assignment has the same start and end dates as an existing policy assignment, the existing policy assignment is deleted.

When set to false, a new policy assignment does not replace any existing policy assignments for the overlapping dates. With this setting, employees can be subscribed to multiple policies simultaneously.
