Employment Status (EMPS)

The Employment Status (EMPS) reference page allows you to define and identify employment statuses. The system refers to the employee's status to determine whether the employee may receive pay, have deductions taken, accrue and use leave and be counted in the workforce. This page also determines the number of months an employee’s information can stay in the system with this status before the employee’s information is archived. Furthermore, this page also determines if the employee will be included on specific reports (EEO6, IPEDS and so on).

This page also indicates if an employee is on extended leave and employees who are in this employment status will not be able to submit a Travel Authorization or Travel Expense Report transactions while on extended leave.
