Employee Seniority Sort Order

The Employee Seniority Sort Order prioritizes employees based on their seniority level. This sort order is typically used to give higher priority to senior employees when assigning shifts. Alternatively, this sort order can be used to give higher priority to more junior employees. For example, an Auto-Assignment group that assigns training shifts could prioritize more junior employees.

When using this sort order, select which field in the employee profile is used to sort employees from the Seniority Field drop down. Employees can be sorted by these fields in ascending or descending order. These fields can be selected:
  • Seniority Date
  • Hire Date
  • Seniority Number

For details on these fields, see "Viewing employee details" in the Infor Workforce Management Time and Attendance Implementation and Administration Guide.

Employee Seniority Sort Order can be used multiple times in an Auto-Assignment group to determine how to prioritize employees that have equal seniority levels. The field in the lower priority sort order is used as a tiebreaker when two employees have the same value for a field that has higher priority.
