Before You Begin: This property requires a location transfer policy to be set up, and this policy must be assigned to the specific roles that need to be validated. Otherwise, the client property controls are ignored and no validation takes place. Location transfer policies are set up by script, and cannot be configured in Dayforce. For assistance, you can request a Value Added Services consultant from Dayforce.
The Validation for Legal Entity Changes in the Internal Candidate Hire Form client property controls whether the system validates if there will be a legal entity change to an employee's profile when they change jobs internally. This validation occurs when the Internal Candidate Hire form is submitted.
This property also determines the action that will occur if a legal entity change is detected. The change can be flagged either as a warning and users can choose to submit the form anyway, or as an error that stops the form from being submitted.
Note: You can view the legal entities of your organization at Org Setup > Org Payroll Setup > Legal Entity.
To configure this client property:
- Go to Recruiting Setup > Client Properties.
- Select the Validation for Legal Entity Changes in the Internal Candidate Hire Form client property. The application displays three radio buttons:
- No Validation: No validation takes place, and users aren't informed of legal entity changes for the candidate.
- Warning: A warning message is displayed but users can choose to submit the form anyway.
- Error: An error message stops the form from being submitted.
- If you click either Warning or Error, Dayforce shows the default message that will be displayed to the user when legal entity changes are detected. You can update this message if required.
- For warnings, the default message is, "The legal entity for the employee's existing work assignment location is different than the legal entity for the location selected in this form."
- For errors, the default message is, "You cannot hire this employee because the legal entity for the employee's existing work assignment location is different than the legal entity for the location selected in this form."
- Click Save.
