For Customers using Dimensions, a Primary Job is associated with the portion of Dimensions Business Structure that relates to the organization structure in this application. The job portion of the Primary Job represents the employee's Job Title (Rank) in this application. When imported into this application, the Primary Job creates the employee's profile and populates the profile's Job Title, Fromdate, and when supplied the Through date. Primary job also establishes an employee's home institution, located in the General tab. When the schedule information is pushed from this application to Dimensions, Dimensions compares an employee's schedule data to their Primary Job to determine if they are working in a position other than their normal assignment and if so, determine if they will receive a change in pay during this timeframe. Additionally, the Dimensions Person Export creates new people in this application, including profiles in the initial run which may include historical data for preexisting employees in this application that includes multiple primary job changes, when this is the case - all profiles will be imported into this application as is in Dimensions. |
