The issuing of Records of Employment (ROE) begins with the HR Request for the employee that has been terminated or for an employee whose HR Position has changed to inactive due to a leave (where issuing an ROE is required).
Termination and Inactivity are configured through the HR Reason code; however, the Cause of Inactivity table needs to be set to indicate if a reason code of inactivity is required to issue an ROE.
To generate a Record of Employment:
- Access the Records of Employment page. In the Search field, type Records of Employment and then select the page from the drop-down list.
The Records of Employment page displays, and lists employees who have been terminated. - The first day worked is the Calculation Start Date of the most current HR Position; if necessary, you can edit this on the Record of Employment First Day Worked line.
- The last day worked is the Calculation End Date of the most current HR Position; if necessary, you can edit this on the Record of Employment Separation Date line.
Note: If the Employee has terminated from All Positions the system will report the Position Title from the Last HR Position the employee received their final pay in, if necessary you can edit this in the Service Canada site. The ability to edit the ROE in Service Canada is available as long as the Export parameters were set as Draft.
- From the Ribbon, click the Navigate tab and then click Detail Lines.
- Enter details as required (that is, vacation pay, other monies, comments and so on.) If the amounts are posted and included in employees final pay, then add a checkmark to the Already Posted check box. This will ensure that the amounts do not get included in Purchase Payments twice.
Note: Where the Reason for Separation is ‘K', you must provide’ a comment.
- To export the file, from the Ribbon click the Actions tab and then click Export.
The Record of Employment page displays.
- In the Processing Method drop-down list, choose either:
- Draft: Choosing this method allows you to edit and submit the ROE in the Service Canada Site.
- Submission: Choosing this method will automatically submit the ROE when uploaded to Service Canada. In this case, the only way to correct the ROE would be to amend it.
Notes:
Remember to return to the Records of Employment page and enter the serial number provided by Service Canada.
If the export file is run multiple times in the same day the system will overwrite each one with the new details. If you wish to keep export files separated, then you may rename the file before doing your next export. You can give it any name you like, just do not change the file extension. You may also keep a separate folder for completed ROE’s and transfer the files completed into the folder.
- In the Export to Folder field, specify that path where you want to export the Record of Employment.
- Click OK.
Test the export file on the Service Canada Web Site using their ROE WEB Demo section.
Note when using the Demo page, you will not be able to use your organization's BN. There will be a list of BN in the site for you to use.
