MODULE 3: WORKER SETUP Module Overview

Businesses can register lots of information about their workers. However, not all information is of real value to the company. Therefore, a business must thoroughly analyze its needs before it starts to enter workers. This analysis avoids managing data that does not directly benefit the company. In this module, you learn the basics of working with worker data, such as educational backgrounds, work experiences, certificates, personal information, and employment relations. You also learn how to loan company property or assets such as computers, keys, company confidential material, mobile phones, access cards, or company credit cards to employees. Records for your various types of workers are important to your human resources and payroll systems. The information that you enter can be used to track workers and personal information, to write letters, and to print reports. It is important to keep up-to-date information to reflect the current activities of your workers and of your companies, legal entities, and organizations. Basic worker information and worker competencies are shared across companies, whereas employment, absences, compensation, and payroll data are specific to a company. There are two worker types, which you select on the employment level: Employee and Contractor. Because a worker can be employed in more than one legal entity, he or she might be an employee in one legal entity and a contractor in another, You can maintain the following information for workers: Basic Basic worker information, such as contact information, demographics, identification, military service status, expatriate, and personal and emergency contacts. Employment Information about workers employment, such as company or organization affiliation, start and end dates, terms of employment, pension, vacation, and relocation information. Absence Information about workers absences, such as working time, absence transactions, and absence setup. Compensation and payroll Information about workers compensation plans and payroll information, such as plan enrollment, awards, performance, commission, tax information, retirement, and salary deductions.

Worker Types
Microsoft Dynamics AX Human Resources supports the following types of workers: Employee - Indicates a person who is employed by the company. Contractor - Indicates a person who works for another company or is independent, but is hired (usually on a contract basis) by the company for administrative purposes. Companies can manage contractors as if they are employees.

Both employees and contractors can be skill mapped, part of a plan, and participate in training. Employers manage the worker types for workers in the Worker type field on the Employment page, using the Employment details FastTab in the Workers form. Because a worker can be employed in more than one legal entity, he or she might be an employee in one legal entity and a contractor in another.

Worker Termination
When a worker is terminated, you end the worker's assignment to all positions and the relationship to any legal entities. The worker and position records are not deleted. Termination makes the worker inactive so that you must reactivate the worker to assign him or her to active employment and optionally assign the person to a position. You can also terminate multiple workers at a time, such as seasonal workers. Ending a worker's position assignment leaves the worker active so that you can assign the worker to a new position later. If the worker is employed in more than one organization, terminating a worker ends all the workers employments. However, you can manually end only one employment for a worker, but let the worker remain assigned to a different position, employed in a different organization. If you retire a position that has a worker assigned to it, retiring the position ends the worker's position assignment at the same time. Retiring a position does not terminate the worker assigned to the position. You can only do this for one worker and position at a time. If you decide to terminate multiple workers at the same time, you have to retire each position individually.

Demonstration: Terminate One Worker


This demonstration shows how to terminate a person's employment in a legal entity. The position assignment is automatically ended because the worker is no longer employed.

Loan Equipment to Workers


Microsoft Dynamics AX Human Resources enables companies to manage the property or assets they issue to workers. A company can loan items either for a finite time or for the duration of the workers' employment, and record the workers to which the assets are loaned. To use the loan functionality, a company must set up loan types and loan items.

Loan Type
Loan type includes general categories of items that employers can loan to workers, such as mobile phones or computers. The actual item brand and serial number are registered on the loan item. Another example is a credit card. Workers may hold several company credit cards, but only one loan type is called credit card. This means that loan types can include many loan items.

Loan Item
Loan items are specific and uniquely identifiable items or assets that employers issue to workers. For example, a Qtek 8310 Smartphone with serial number XYZMMM, or with credit cards, each card's unique number. You can create loan items in two ways: One item at a time in the Loan items form. Multiple items at the same time in the Mass creation dialog box.

Because the loan functionality enables a business to control ownership and the timeframes for which an item can be borrowed or issued, some companies also use loans for administering shared company resources, such as projectors, flip charts, meeting rooms, and shared presentation notebooks.

About Loan Items
Loan items are records that help you keep track of the physical items that your company lends to workers. Although each item is uniquely identifiable, each belongs to the category indicated by the loan type. The following list contains examples of common loan items: Notebook and home computers Home Internet connections Handheld devices, such as PDAs Mobile phones Company credit cards

Each physical item must have a corresponding loan item. Each loan item record should describe what is being loaned, who is responsible for the loan, and the number of days the item can be on loan. You can create multiple loan items that are similar, such as series of keys, series of access cards, or bunch of uniforms, at the same time. When loaning an item, enter the date that the item was loaned and the planned return date. When the item is returned, enter the actual return date.

Loan Items to Workers


You must create a loan item for each item that you will loan. You group items by loan type. On the Loan items form, you can see which items are already on loan in the Status field. The Status field is determined by the Loaned equipment form where individual items are checked out (Status=Loaned) and returned (Status=Available).

Demonstration: Add Loan Type


This demonstration shows how to set up categories of loan items or assets.

Demonstration Steps
1. Start a new loan type. a. Click Human resources > Setup > Workers > Loan > Loan types.

Manage ADA Information


Microsoft Dynamics AX provides tools to manage information that can help comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Managing ADA information helps your agency prohibit discrimination of qualified people with disabilities.

Work Environment Accommodations


Accommodations represent changes to work environments or business operations that result in equal employment opportunity for a person with a disability. You can enter requests for special work environment accommodations that are made by workers and applicants with regard to one or more specific tasks that are required by a position. You can then evaluate whether the accommodation is reasonable or if it imposes unnecessary cost, and then either grant or deny the accommodation request. If you hire an applicant for whom you granted an accommodation, the person keeps the accommodation information after he or she is hired. To help track information about accommodations, reporting features make the processes of collecting, maintaining, and retrieving this information from the system easier. Before you can start to work with accommodations, you must first create one or more accommodation types. This lets you sort accommodations by type to find a particular accommodation quickly.
