Running the HRS Change Report in CAT

Overview

The HRS Change Report identifies Employee Records that have undergone a Business Unit, HR Department, Position Number, Job Code, Pay Basis, FTE, Payroll Status, or Comprate change in HRS.

Purpose

This report will pull using similar logic that populates the Recent and Future HR / Compensation Transactions section in the CAT.  This report will serve as an update notification of all these changes.  Users will need to review the records on the report and determine if the compensation changes entered into the CAT are still accurate, if a new record needs to be created, or if a CAT record needs to be deleted.  The HRS Change Report is only of use when the Automatic HRS Update Feed is ON.
