Understanding Total Seniority
Definition and Calculation
Total seniority is information available in the employee's profile (corporate tab) and in the employee summary under the Seniority column. The calculation of this data follows the formula:
Company Seniority + Recognized Experience - Non comptabilized Seniority = Total Seniority
Key Components
Company Seniority
This metric indicates the time elapsed between the employee's hiring date and the current date.
Recognized Experience
This is an adjustable field on the employee control page, where you can enter a positive or negative value that influences the total recognized seniority.
Non-comptabilized Seniority
This part represents the duration of the employee's inactive periods during which seniority is not accrued.
Factors Influencing the Evolution of Total Seniority
Total seniority can vary based on several elements:
- Temporal Evolution: Seniority naturally increases over time.
- Changes in Hiring Date: Modifications to the recorded hiring date affect the seniority calculation.
- Adjustments in Relevant Experience: Adding or removing relevant experiences also alters this value.
Tips and Tricks
- It is recommended to keep the information on relevant experience updated to ensure an accurate assessment of seniority.
- For employees who have had periods of inactivity, it is important to document these periods as unrecognized seniority to avoid calculation errors.
