As an implementation consultant, you are required to explain the differences between person
numbers and worker numbers to the client’s Super User. Which two options best describe the
difference between person numbers and worker numbers?
A.
The person number is the person record’s unique ID when you create the record. Worker
numbers identify employee and contingent worker work relationships. A person with multiple such
relationships has multiple worker numbers.
B.
The person number is allocated automatically when you create the record. Allocation of worker
numbers can be either automatic or manual.
C.
The person number is the person record’s ID when you create the record. Person number may not
be unique in the enterprise. Worker numbers identify employee and contingent worker work
relationships. A person with multiple such relationships has multiple worker numbers.
D.
The person number is allocated wither automatically or manually, when you create the record.
Allocation of worker number can be either automatic or manual.
Explanation:
* person number
A person ID that is unique in the enterprise, is allocated automatically to the person record, and
does not change, even if the person leaves and later rejoins the enterprise.
* Worker numbers can be generated either manually or automatically.
If you select manual generation, then you are recommended to define a numbering scheme to suit
local requirements. For example, determine whether uniqueness within the enterprise or at the
legal employer level is important, and define the numbering scheme accordingly.
If you select automatic worker-number generation, numbers can be allocated from either an
enterprise sequence or a legal employer sequence. If you use a legal-employer sequence, worker
numbers are not guaranteed to be unique in the enterprise. Also, they cannot be transferred outside
the legal employer: if a worker leaves the enterprise and later starts a new work relationship of the
same type but with a different legal employer, a new worker number is allocated to the work
relationship.
