Use this form only if your organization uses Position Management. If your organization doesn’t use Position Management, use the corresponding form without (Position Management) added to its name.
The Return to Work (Position Management) form is used when an employee returns from a leave of absence. On this form, you enter the employee’s return date and status and review the employee’s pay class, pay type, rate, and primary position to which they’re assigned.
In the Primary Position section, you assign the new employee to a position in the organization hierarchy. Select the Interim Position? checkbox if the employee will be an interim occupant. With the checkbox selected, the Position Name list is filtered to show only positions that support interim occupancy. The Managing Position drop-down list includes managers that have vacant positions under them as of the hire date that you entered on the form. The Position Name list shows positions under the selected manager that are vacant as of the hire date. If no hire date is entered, the lists are filtered as of today's date. You must select a manager first before you can select a position and location.
The positions available in the Primary Position section depend on the user's Position Management access authorizations.
Submitted and processed forms update the employee’s status and the corresponding fields in the Employment Status tab of the Employment > Employment Settings screen in People. The selected location becomes the primary work assignment for the employee. If the position has multiple locations, they become secondary work assignments. The employee is also assigned as the occupant for the position that you selected in the Primary Position section. If the employee’s work assignment details have changed, the form creates a new position assignment for them. If their work assignment details are the same and they’re returning to their previous position, their existing position assignment is updated and a new one isn’t created.
