Job History | Business context

Job history is a table linked to the employment record in Sage People. Job history stores the history of key job details for a team member.

The system generates job history records automatically when a user changes the Job Effective Date in the employment record. It then uses selected fields in the team member and employment records to supply values for the job history.

When implementing Sage People, you can use existing employment history to populate job history.

By default, job history tracks changes to these fields:

• Manager

• Job

• Job Title

• Job Profile

• Function

• Grade

• Salary Band

You can extend this list with more fields if you need to track them too.

The system sets the Job Effective Date by:

• Creating a new team member. The Start Date value is mandatory and copies to the Job Effective Date for both the team member and employment records

• Entering a job change. Job Effective Date is a mandatory field and copies to both the team member and employment records

• Finalizing an employment change request (HR request). The HR request effective date copies to the Job Effective Date for both the team member and employment records

• Creating a new job history record directly, with an explicit Job Effective Date, which can be in the future

Each of these actions creates a new job history record.
