Use this procedure when an employee completes their in-training appointment or completes a level in a multiple level in-training appointment and there is a change to the employee’s job, appointment date, or pay.

Tips: 

Refer to the In-Training Appointments Coding Reference Guide for additional information on correctly coding in-training appointments and completions.

If there is no change to the employee’s job, appointment date, or pay, then use the Change of Status Action procedure instead.

This action does not normally require hand-offs to other roles; however, a hand-off may be necessary if there is also a change to the employee's work county or Workers' Compensation risk classification. If changes are necessary, notify your payroll office so they can update the employee's:

  • Workers' Compensation risk classification (Empl.override group on the Add. Withh. Info. US (0234) infotype)

For more information on coding in-training appointments, refer to the In-Training Appointments Coding Reference Guide.

If no date is entered, the system will follow the Automated PID Process.

    • Manually enter the next increase date during the Appointment Change - In-Training Complete action if the employee is moving to a new salary range (PS group), to ensure the employee receives their periodic increment on the correct date.
