Overview
A situation code is an identifier that defines the employment status of an employee in the assignment. For example, a situation code will describe a position and the associated pay along with a start and end date of employment and other required information pertaining to that employee position. A Catalog of Situation Codes gathers together all the valid Situation Codes that can be used when linking an employee and a position. This function is available to search the catalog of situation codes as well as create, modify and delete codes. Situation Codes listed in this function can be combined with others that will be managed and organized in another function called Situation Code Combinations. Cost Items, which are further explained in various other functions, work closely with the situation code catalog as well. Situation Codes will be retrieved from the catalog here to produce situation code combinations and link them with cost items.
