Purpose Statement

The Employment History section provides a comprehensive tracking system for personnel career progression, assignment changes, and significant employment events within your department. This feature enables supervisors and administrators to maintain detailed records of each employee's professional journey, including automatic tracking of shift assignments and rotations, as well as manual entry of important career milestones and historical events.

Background Information

Employment History serves as a centralized repository for all personnel-related changes and events throughout an employee's tenure. The system automatically captures assignment updates when shifts are created on the Shift Board and rotation updates when scheduling changes occur. Additionally, supervisors can manually add historical events such as promotions, disciplinary actions, training completions, commendations, or other significant career moments. This comprehensive tracking supports performance reviews, career development planning, compliance documentation, and provides valuable historical context for personnel decisions.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Q: Why don't I see recent shift assignments in the Employment History? A: Assignment Updates only appear after shifts are actually created on the Shift Board. If shifts are scheduled but not yet created in the system, they won't appear in Employment History.

Q: Can I edit automatically generated Assignment or Rotation Updates? A: No, automatic updates cannot be edited as they reflect actual system actions. Only Manual Entries can be modified or deleted.

Q: What types of events should be documented as Manual Entries? A: Include significant career events such as promotions, demotions, disciplinary actions, commendations, training completions, certifications, injuries, and other notable employment milestones.

Q: Who can view Employment History records? A: Access depends on your system permissions. Typically, supervisors, administrators, and HR personnel can view complete records, while individual employees may have access to their own records.
