Job Overlap Period

This process involves a series of business processes. The first step is creating the position that will be  during the job overlap period.

Create Position

You will create a new temporary position that is identical to the position of the terminating Employee now. You will need to gather all of the relevant details from the Position Restrictions of the Worker who will terminate.

You will then initiate the Create Position business process and enter the details.

1. Enter the same Supervisory Organization within which the terminating Employee’s position currently sits.
2. Select OK.
3. For Position Request Reason, select Create Position > Create Position > Job Overlap Period.
4. Enter the Hiring Restrictions (including the Job Profile) that match what exists for the current position.

Note: Workday Services recommends that the Availability Date entered be today’s date. It is also recommended that the date entered for Earliest Hire Date match the Availability Date.

5. Likewise, enter the Qualifications for the position that match the current position for the terminating Employee.
6. Select Submit.

Navigate to the Up Next tab for the next steps in the process.

Request Default Compensation for Position Event

The initiator will receive a task to Request Default Compensation for Position Event.

Use the same information from the terminating Employee’s Worker profile to provide the correct compensation details tor this temporary position including any allowances. When finished, select Approve.

Up Next

• The initiator will need to submit the Change Organizations sub step. No changes should be needed.
• The HR Partner will review and approve the temporary position.

Note: Assign Costing Allocations is not a sub step of this modified process for creating this position. Costing allocations will be entered when you transfer the terminating Employee.

Change Job for Terminating Employee

You will now initiate the Change Job business process for the terminating Employee to move them into the temporary position you created for the Job Overlap period.

1. Navigate to the terminating Employee’s Worker Profile.
2. Select Actions > Job Change > Transfer, Promote or Change Job.
3. In the Why are you making this change? field, select Data Change > Job Overlap Period. Answer the remaining questions as you would for the normal Change Job business process and select Start.
4. Select the Position you created for the temporary move.

IMPORTANT: Do not close the current position. You will recruit to fill the current position.

5. Select Next.  You should not need to make any changes on the following pages because you created an identical position. Select Next as you go through each page.
6. After your complete the Review page, select Submit. You will receive an alert reminding you when Job Overlap should be used. If you have any doubt regarding the selection of Job Overlap, visit with your central HR office at your member before you submit.
7. Select Submit.

Potential Additional Routing

• The receiving Manager receives an approval step.
• The initiator of the Change Job business process receives the Assign Costing Allocations sub step to add costing allocations to the new temporary position. Remember, no costing allocations were added during the Create Position business process.
• The applicable Cost Center Approver will need to approve the costing allocations for the temporary position.
• The initiator will receive the To Do Update Position Restriction Costing Allocation to update the vacated position’s costing allocations, if needed.
• The initiator will receive the To Do Update Position Restriction Default Compensation to update the vacated position’s default compensation, if needed.

Next Steps in the Job Overlap Process

Now that you have created the temporary position and completed the Change Job business process for the terminating Employee, you are ready to recruit or promote to fill the now vacated position.
