End assignments and terminate work relationships from projected dates

Why I picked it

Projected end dates stop being a manual diary of follow-ups; HR deals with the exceptions instead.

Where it helps

Fixed-term contracts that reach their projected end date are closed on schedule, and HR only reviews the ones the process couldn't handle.

Watch out: Pending approvals and conflicting future-dated changes aren't processed, so someone still owns the exceptions.

From Oracle's note

When projected end dates are tracked across many workers, each date can become a manual follow-up. The Update Employment Data process can end assignments or terminate work relationships when those dates arrive, helping HR focus on exceptions instead of routine changes.

• Run assignment end-date or work-relationship termination processing on demand or on a recurring schedule.
• Filter the population by lead time, worker type, country, legal employer and business unit where applicable.
• Review process status and error details in the ESS results.

No feature enablement is needed, but configure and schedule the appropriate Update Employment Data process. Only active records in the selected processing window qualify; pending approvals and conflicting future-dated changes aren't processed.
