Newly added 'Retirement' column in the xls Position templates

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 45

Hi all,

would anybody please know what is the 'Retirement' column M in the Excel Positions template and what does it relate to? It seems to mess my uploads with required seniority dates. It is probably a new update as I am sure I haven't seen it on the template a week ago. And nothing comes up when I search for it in Talent.

Many thanks

Jana

    Hi,

    To my understanding 'Retirement' field in column M refers to Position retirement date. Going with the best practices, it is advisable to select 'Never' when creating a Position manually or feed the corresponding date; 31/12/2154 23:59:59 in the excel file.

    The logic behind this date is, that the Worker-Position assignment keeps changing but ideally a Position never retires unless there are some major changes/ restructuring done in the organization and the position is scraped. In later scenario this retirement date can be then set to the actual day when the changes were made in the company.

    Hello that is the end date of the position. When you open the positions page you can see that Retirement is the end date of the position. So it was always in. I do not see what the relation is with the seniority dates. It was always in

    It could be that it was not visible in the excel, but via Design you would be able to add to the excel add in.
