C_THR81 Employee Central Core Practice Question
A global company using SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central has employees who work in multiple countries during a single year. The HR team needs to record each country assignment with its own start and end dates and pay scale information, while keeping the primary job record intact. Which configuration should the administrator implement?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is reaching for multiple Job Information records or Legal Entity changes when parallel country assignments belong in the dedicated Global Assignment object.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Enable the Global Assignment object and associate it with the employee's Job Information
The Global Assignment object exists specifically to record host-country assignments alongside the home assignment, each with independent dates and pay scale data. Using it keeps the primary Job Information record intact while giving the HR team a structured, reportable way to manage employees who work in more than one country during the year.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create multiple Job Information records with overlapping effective dates for each country
Why it's wrong here
Job Information records represent the primary employment and effective-dated changes, not parallel country assignments. Overlapping effective dates on Job Information would create conflicting primary records and break downstream processes such as payroll and reporting, so this approach is incorrect for multi-country assignments.
- ✗
Configure a business rule that changes the employee's Legal Entity each time the country changes
Why it's wrong here
Changing Legal Entity alters the employee's primary employment relationship and would disrupt payroll, benefits, and reporting tied to the home entity. It does not create separate assignment records with their own dates and pay scales, so it fails to meet the requirement of parallel country assignments.
- ✓
Enable the Global Assignment object and associate it with the employee's Job Information
Why this is correct
The Global Assignment object is designed to capture host-country assignments with their own dates, pay scale, and related data while the home assignment remains in Job Information. This preserves the primary record and provides a structured place for each country assignment, matching the requirement precisely.
- ✗
Add a custom MDF object that stores country names as free text on the employee record
Why it's wrong here
A free-text custom object would not integrate with pay scale structures or provide the structured assignment handling that Global Assignment offers. It also lacks the standard validations and reporting relationships, so it would not reliably capture pay scale information per country assignment as required.
