Employee page: Job history & employment status

What this guide covers

Two tabs that together track where someone sits and how they're employed: Job History (positions, promotions, probation, contract, and the lifecycle timeline) and Employment Status (active/inactive, and starting a termination or re-employment).

Who can edit: most actions need HR write; terminating or the "terminate now" nudge needs HR admin.

Job History

At a glance

The top of the tab summarises the current position, department, joined date and employment type, plus status chips — probation ends in N days / complete, or contract ends in N days / ended.

The things you maintain here

Operational team — the team they work in (can differ from their position's department).
Initial start date — the appointment date; required for leave-cycle calculations (a warning shows if it's missing).
Employment type — Permanent or Contract.
Probation (permanent) — add, extend, or end probation.
Contract (contract) — set, renew, or end the contract end-date; a nudge offers "terminate now" once a contract is past its end.
Assign new position / promote / change title — record a Promotion, Title change or Adjustment with an effective date, an optional salary (only if you hold the salary permission) and a note.

Job History table & timeline

A table lists every position held (title + department, period, type, note) with End this position where one is still open. A collapsible timeline shows the full employment lifecycle (hired, promoted, probation/contract events, re-employed, terminated…) with dates and who recorded each.

Employment Status

Shows the current Active / Inactive status and, if a termination is already scheduled, a banner with the date and a countdown (which HR admin can edit or cancel). The actions:

Terminate Employee — opens the offboarding wizard (HR admin; see Offboarding an employee).
Re-employ — brings a former employee back (HR write, when eligible).

Good to know

Set the start date — leave cycles and tenure depend on it.
Use the right change type when reassigning — Promotion vs Title change vs Adjustment keeps the history meaningful.
The timeline is the audit story — every lifecycle change is recorded with an actor; don't work around it.

Offboarding an employee — the termination wizard launched from Employment Status.
Salary, banking & compliance — recording a salary against a promotion.
