Purpose

In PayServ v 9.2, Concurrent Hire functionality is replaced by the delivered Add Employment Instance process.

The purpose of this task is to Add an Employment Instance in the Payroll System. A concurrent job is used to establish a new record number when an employee is being hired into a different company. It is also used to set up dual employment or extra service records when no existing records can be used.

This task assumes the employee currently exists in the Payroll System.

Helpful Hints

• Use Statewide Job Summary to determine if any existing records can be used for this transaction.
  • The Agency must have both the NYS Empl ID and the National ID in order to complete a Concurrent Hire/Add Employment Instance.
  • In many cases, existing records can be used for a rehire or transfer transaction.
• Concurrent records are set up to be independent of existing records. Each concurrent record must be set up with its own unique employment information.
• For dual employment and extra service positions, pertinent documentation must be provided.
