Home > Human Resources > Job Aids > Update Labor Distribution Classification
You will use the Department Specific Data (DEPTD) transaction to classify a new employee's labor distribution. This process, initiated from the Employee Profile Management (EPM) activity folder, ensures the employee is accurately set up for payroll, benefits, and personnel tracking.
Many of the important hiring steps can be reviewed on our Hiring a New Employee Checklist. You are encouraged to review this resource to ensure you have all of the information you need to hire an employee.
Prerequisites:
Before you begin, make sure:
The position the employee is being hired into has already been created and authorized. Refer to the Create a Position and Authorize a Position guides for additional information.
After the position has been authorized, the workflow process of review and approval has been created for the position. This needs to happen prior to the completion of this job aid.
Prior state service has been researched by using the QSSN, HRDW, or EMPL query. This ensures you can reuse the Employee ID (EID), verify state service, and confirm important data like prior leave accruals and time in series.

Important Information
After completing the Hire a New Employee process for a term-limited or temporary employee, the corresponding separation transaction can be initiated. The separation can be future-dated in a corresponding transaction to ensure the system automatically processes the employee's departure on the position's official end date. For detailed guidance, see the Separate an Employee guide.
