Transfer Employees (International)
Transfer Employees (International)
Employee Transfers
When an employee must be transferred from one international component company to another international component company, administrators and managers must complete the Transfer Employee work event.
The Transfer Employee process involves moving employees from one international component company to another international component company. Before a transfer is initiated, ensure that employees to be transferred have an active employment status in only one component company. Employees with a terminated employment status or an active employment status in multiple component companies cannot be transferred.
UKG Pro enables you to change the transferred employee's company name while maintaining prior company and employee identification information. Using the Transfer Employee work event, you can process employee transfers from one international component company to another within your master company.
Transfer an Employee
Using the Transfer an Employee Start page in the Transfer Employee work event, you can begin the Transfer Employee process from one component company to another component company. Details are provided on the Start page as you step through the process.
The Transfer Employee work event contains a list of steps in the left pane of the Transfer an Employee Start page. UKG Pro Time Management or Workforce Management users must complete an additional step to provide related time management information. If you are not a Time Management or Workforce Management user, the step does not appear in the pane.
Before you begin, review the Information section on the Start page, which includes rules and guidelines to help you with the Transfer Employee process.
After you have completed the transfer, you can update an employee's job-related information using other work events such as Change Organization or Change Job. In cases where you inadvertently select the wrong company name for the transfer, you must complete the transfer process again using the Transfer Employee work event.

- In the Things I Can Do section, select the Transfer Employee link. The Transfer Employee work event appears.
- From the Start page, select the new company to which the employee is being transferred. Only those companies for which you have security rights appear alphabetically in the drop-down list.
