Global Assignment

What is Global Assignment feature in SuccessFactors

A global assignment is a temporary assignment of an employee to another company for a set period of time. Most likely, this company is located abroad and is either a subsidiary or the parent company of the company, at which the employee is employed. A new employment must be created in the system for the global assignment of the employee. Once the global assignment is active, there is one home and one host employment for this employee. The employee is also called ‘expatriate’ for the time of the global assignment. During the duration of the global assignment, the home employment can be marked as ‘dormant’ to indicate the employee is away. Note that marking the home employment as ‘dormant’ will not inactivate it, that is it will continue to remain active.

A global assignment cannot be applied to the same employee at the same time with a concurrent employment. This means that, if an employee has a global assignment, this employee cannot have a concurrent employment at the same time, and vice-versa.
