Oracle HRMS enables you to keep your contingent worker transactions entirely separate from employee transactions.

Contingent Worker Person Types

So you can identify contingent workers as a separate category of worker from employees, Oracle HRMS provides you with the two system person types Contingent worker and Ex-contingent worker, to which you can add your own user types as required.

Oracle HRMS enables you to limit access to the records of employees, applicants, and contingent workers when you set up a user's security. Using security profiles you can give users access to contingent worker records only. You can also restrict user access to contingent worker records by giving them access to work structures or other criteria in the application to which contingent workers are attached. For example, you could give users access to the contingent worker records in a single organization.

CustomForm

Many of the windows used in Oracle HRMS are multipurpose windows. For example, the People window can be used to enter and maintain personal details for employees, contingent workers, and applicants. You can create a separate version of some Oracle HRMS windows to cater specifically for contingent workers using CustomForm. For example, you could create your own version of the People window to cater solely for contingent workers.

Task Flow

You can also use task flow to limit the access your users have to individual windows.

You can link together the windows you want your users to use for a particular task including versions of windows you have created using CustomForm. For example, you might include your own version of the People window and include this in a task flow for entering personal information for a contingent worker.

Combining Security Profiles, CustomForm, and Task Flow

The following example combines the concepts of security profiles, CustomForm, and task flow to show how you can give users access to contingent workers records only:

Firstly you could establish a security profile stipulating that your users only have access to contingent worker records. You do this by selecting an access level of 'none' for the records of employees or applicants and an access level of 'all' for contingent workers.

You then link your new security profile to a new responsibility. You could then create a new version of the People window using CustomForm. Your new People window could restrict the actions the user can perform, for example, creating a placement. When you have created the new version of the window you assign it to a menu. Next you remove the windows that are no longer required from the menu and assign the menu to the same responsibility as your security profile. Finally you could create a new task flow and attach it to the window.

The Contingent Worker Assignment

The contingent worker assignment defines the commercial relationship between your enterprise and the supplier. It also defines how the contingent worker is deployed by the business and the conditions of work assigned to them.

The contingent worker assignment relates contingent workers to their work structures.

Much of the work structures information you enter for a contingent worker is entered against the contingent worker assignment and not the person. For example, you can

enter standard conditions or supplier details against the contingent worker assignment.

Note: The assignment is datetracked to maintain a work history as the contingent worker moves through your enterprise.

When you enter a contingent worker, Oracle HRMS automatically creates a default assignment for that contingent worker. This is because a contingent worker must have a current assignment at all times. Any change you make, such as a change of working location, or change in working role, is added to the existing assignment. These changes are datetracked so that you can make future-dated changes in advance and view the history of changes to an assignment.

Components of the Assignment

At a minimum, an assignment defines the HR organization within the business group (which may be the business group itself) for which a person works, the date the assignment began, and its current status, such as active or suspended.

More specifically, you can use the assignment to define the role of the contingent worker in the enterprise, including their job, position, organization, and location. You can also assign contingent workers to contingent worker groups you set up using the People Group key flexfield.

You can assign contingent workers to an assignment category, such as Part Time or Full Time. You set up these categories using the Lookup Type CWK_ASG_CATEGORY.

Further examples of assignment categories could be Part Time Fixed Hours or Part Time Shift Pattern.

Multiple Assignments

If your enterprise permits contingent workers to work in two or more different capacities at once you can enter multiple assignments for them. A contingent worker can have multiple assignments, but only one is the primary assignment. Any others are secondary.

Relocations, changes in job role, and so on go on record as datetracked changes to contingent worker existing assignments. You do not enter new assignments for such changes.

Managing Multiple Assignments

Oracle HRMS separately manages each assignment. When a contingent worker has more than one assignment, one assignment is designated the primary assignment.

When you enter a contingent worker (by entering a person as a contingent worker, or by changing the person type to contingent worker), Oracle HRMS automatically creates a primary assignment for that person. (The Primary box is automatically checked in the Miscellaneous tabbed region of the Assignment window).

If you then enter an additional assignment, the Primary box is automatically unchecked for that secondary assignment.

You can end all assignments except the primary assignment by entering a status change of End in the Assignment window. To end a contingent worker's primary assignment, you must terminate the placement.

Alternatively, if a contingent worker has more than one assignment you can change the primary assignment to become a secondary assignment and change one of the other secondary assignments to become the primary assignment. You can then enter a status change of End for the former primary assignment in the Assignment window.

Managing Changes in Assignment Information

When a contingent worker experiences changes such as a change in job role, or moves from full time to part time, you change a component of the assignment. A change to any of the assignment components produces the DateTrack prompt.

• If you choose Correction, Oracle HRMS overwrites the existing assignment information back to the last effective from date.

• If you choose Update, Oracle HRMS records the date and change, and retains the original information.

By changing your effective date, you can see the contingent worker assignment at any point in time. You can also view the changes made to the assignment over time using DateTrack History.

DateTrack History shows the changes made to one assignment. Use the Assignment History window to view the history of the contingent worker's assignments, both current and in any previous periods of service.
