Define Entitlement Seniority Date

An entitlement seniority date allows you to specify when entitlements begin for an employee, rather than use the hire date when there is a change in the employee’s entitlement balance. For example, if the employee negotiates an entitlement beyond the default balance, the entitlement seniority date marks the new point at which the employee is qualified.

To define an entitlement seniority date:

1. Go to People, open the employee profile, and click Employment > Employee Properties.
2. Click Add.
3. In the Property drop-down list, select Entitlement Seniority Date.
4. Enter the effective dates.
5. In the Value field, enter the entitlement seniority date.
6. Click Save.

After it's been defined, the Entitlement Seniority Date property can be used to qualify employees for entitlements using the Seniority Qualifier in Pay Setup > Entitlements. When you select Entitlement Seniority Date in the Start Date drop-down list, the qualifier looks back to the entitlement seniority date specified in People when qualifying employees. If an employee isn't assigned the property, or if the property isn't in effect, then the employee isn't qualified.
