Summary

The Union Selection Maintenance window is used to create and maintain union codes. Each union unit created in the Union Unit Maintenance window (HR> Maintenance> Union Unit) is attached to a union code 1 and a union code 2. The union code 1 functions like a grouping, and each union code 2 is a unique occurrence of a union code 1 and functions like a sub-grouping. For example, if a union negotiates for all line workers but creates separate contracts for truck drivers and service workers, you can set up the union as a union code 1 and then create a separate union code 2 for the truck drivers and the service workers.

Only union codes that have been created in the Union Code Maintenance window can be attached to union units using the Union Unit Maintenance window (HR> Maintenance> Union Unit> Create a union unit> Union Code 1 field), so you must create union codes before creating a union unit.

Step by Step

1     View the union codes.

• Open the Union Selection Maintenance window (HR> Maintenance> Unions).
• The Union Selection Maintenance window will display all of the union codes that have been created in the database. Highlight a union code in the left section of the window and the fields in the Maintenance section will populate with the information of the selected union code.
• Highlight a union code and press DELETE or click the Delete icon   to delete the selected union code.
  • You cannot delete a union code that is attached to a bargaining unit.
• Press INSERT or click the Create icon to create a new union code. This will add a new line item in the left section of the window.

2     Create or modify a union code.

• Enter a union code in the Code field. Once a union code has been created, you cannot modify the value in this field.
  • The format of the union code is set up using the Setup window (HR> Utilities> Setup> Union Code 1 Format field).
• Enter a description of the union code in the Description field.
• Press ENTER or click the Save icon to save the union code.
