Change a primary employment

You can change a primary employment, so you make sure the system treats the right role as the employee’s main job.

Written by Relu

You can change the primary employment to keep reporting, ordering, and system connections accurate when someone has more than one employment.

Reasons to change a primary employment

You can change the primary employment when:

  • The employee has multiple roles, and you want the correct one treated as their main employment.

  • A terminated role is showing before their current one in their profile or in areas like My Team. This usually means the old role is marked as primary.

  • You’re linking systems for example with other Access platforms, where the primary employment must be set correctly to avoid integration issues.
