Personnel Structure
The Personnel Structure represents an employee’s position in a company from the individual employee’s view and contains the employee group and employee subgroup. The employee group is the primary subdivision of personnel and allows groupings that are required for Payroll, Benefits, and Time processing. The employee group an employee is assigned to generally is based on the nature of their employment. The SAP Best Practices for HCM
USA employee structure has been designed to support internal, retired and external persons. Internal persons are defined within the employee groups ‘Employee’ and ‘Other’. The employee subgroups are a subdivision of the employee group and are used to further define the employee.
