Employment History

If you only need to review a single employee's positional changes, you might prefer to view their employment history through their employee profile instead.

This provides a complete list of the employee's employment history in chronological order, showing all the position changes they have experienced during their employment.

To view an employee's Employment history via their employee profile:

  1. Navigate to People > Approved People and select the relevant employee that you would like to review.
  2. Select Manage > Employment history.
