Personnel > Maintenance > Employment Info
This tab is used to maintain basic employment information for an employee. The data includes employment dates, job assignments, contract information, and job termination dates. Before using this tab, each employee must have a demographic record.
Note: If an employee starts after the first day of their contract, then the employee start date will match the Begin Date under Calendar/Local Info on the Job Info tab.

The following fields are required:
- Employee Status
- Highest Degree

Although all of the fields on this tab are not required, some of the fields are used for reporting to TEA, TRS, IRS, and SSA.

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Employee Status |
Click
0 - Pending - An employee with a pending status indicates that the employee is new or inactive with a demo record but does not have payroll records.

And, for CYR payroll purposes, the employee must have payroll records in CYR.

❏ Under Employment Dates:
| Original Emp. Date | Type the original date on which the individual was employed by the LEA in the MM-DD-YYYY format. This date does not change if the employee left the LEA and then returned. This field is required to extract the employee for State Reporting. Note: Employees are only included in the Instructor directory in Grade Reporting if they have an Original Emp. Date or Latest Re-Employ Date. If an employee does not have an employment date or if the employee has a termination date that is greater than their latest employment date, then the employee is not included in the Instructor directory. |
|---|---|
| Latest Re-Employ Date | Type the date the employee began his current period of employment in the MM-DD-YYYY format. The field applies only to employees who worked for the LEA, left the LEA, and then returned. If the employee never left the LEA, the field is left blank. |
| Termination Date | Type the date that the termination of the employee went into effect in the MM-DD-YYYY format. This field is used only for employees who have been terminated from their positions. When a date is entered in the Date field, the system deselects all remaining months for the year in the Unemployment Eligibility section, except for the actual termination month. The termination date and reason are used to exclude the employee from TEA reporting. |
| Termination Reason | Click  to select the reason the employee was terminated. The termination reasons are maintained on the Personnel > Tables > Job/Contract > Termination Reason tab. |
| Eligible for Re-hire | Select if the employee is eligible for rehire. |
| Percent Day Employed | PEIMS Reporting Element Type the percentage of each day for which this individual is employed, which indicates the percentage of a standard LEA workday for which the employee is hired to work. This field is required. For an employee on contract, the percentage can be determined directly from the contract: full-time = 100, half-time = 050, and so on. For a non-contract employee, the percentage can be determined as follows. Example: The standard workday for the LEA is 7 hours. An employee is hired to work for 4 hours per day. This data element is coded as 057 for the employee because 4/7 = .571 is rounded down. Employees such as cafeteria workers and bus drivers who work only a few hours each day should not be reported as 100 in this field. Consider the number of hours worked in relation to the standard LEA workday, not the job. The field can be a maximum of three digits. |
❏ Under Employment Types:

Therefore, extreme care should be taken to make sure that the check box is set accurately for the process being performed. Retiree surcharges depend on retiree dates and vary based on the retiree; therefore, it is important to reference the TRS Reporting Entity Portal for specific details. |
| NY Take Retiree Surcharge | Select if the LEA should pay the TRS surcharges for retirees for next year processes. When selected, the TRS retiree pension surcharge (based on gross pay) is calculated, and the TRS-Care surcharge (RI deduction code) is assessed during the Interface NY Payroll to NY Budget extract. |

Notes:
The drop-down options are populated based on the year in the School Year for PEIMS Codes field on the Tables > District HR Options page.
This data is part of the StaffEducationOrgEmploymentAssociationExtension complex type collected in PEIMS Submission 1.
Professional and paraprofessional staff may also be reported with an Auxiliary Role ID if they serve the LEA in a non-professional or non-paraprofessional role. A classroom teacher (Role ID 087) who also drives a bus route for the school would require an Auxiliary Role ID to be reported. In this case, the employee would have at least two payroll accounting entries: one with object code 6119, and one with object code 6129. Because there may be duplication between Role ID and Auxiliary Role ID, the district must use its discretion in determining if the employee is serving in a professional or non-professional capacity.
