Walk-through 2: Add a change to Employment History

Changes to JOBHIST and PERS overview

Any change to an employee's employment (status, salary, job, department, etc) involves a new movement in Employment History(JOBHIST). You are in effect adding a new history item.

Any change to an employee's personal information (name, address, etc) involves a change to the Person file(PERS). You are actually modifying existing information.

In this lesson we will learn how to give an employee a raise.

Is this for me?

Salary changes are typically handled by HR. If you are a payroll person you still may want to see how it's done so that when you process the employee's you will know where to look for more information.

Assumptions

In this lesson we will assume that this is a regular raise for this job and not a cost of living, across the board sort of raise. Changes the rates in rate table will be handled in another walk-through.
