Business rules for Redwood employment pages

Why I picked it

HR can stop data quality problems at the point of entry, without a developer.

Where it helps

A rule makes contract fields mandatory for fixed-term contracts, so they're never missed.

From Oracle's note

Data quality issues on employment pages are usually caught too late, after the wrong value has been saved, payroll has run, or a compliance audit has flagged it. Business Rules for Redwood Employment Pages lets HR administrators configure defaulting and validation rules on key employment pages, without any developer involvement.

• Change Manager: default effective dates, restrict retroactive changes
• Edit Work Relationship, default DFF values based on employee attributes
• Employment Contracts: enforce mandatory fields based on contract type
• Contract section on Add Employee, Transfer, Hire, Local and Global Transfer flows
• Individual Compensation attributes on Change Assignment, Promote, Transfer and more

The capability is available without a profile option, but rules need to be configured before you get value from it. Once in place, they run automatically on every transaction.
