Create definitions of activities (job roles)

If your organization uses salary grades and scales, the definitions of the activities, or job roles, required for your organization are set up when your system is implemented. However, from time to time, you might need to create new activity definitions, and maintain existing activities. You assign an activity to an employee when you create employment history records.

The organization and terms and conditions reference data that you can use in an activity is set up when the system is implemented. This data includes items such as location, department, salary grade and whole time equivalent (WTE). If you want to create more reference data for your activity definitions, refer to the links in the descriptions of the fields in Activity to find out where and how to set up the data.
