C_THR81 Employee Central Core Practice Question
An administrator needs to create a new custom MDF object to track employee visas. The object must store visa type, issue date, and expiry date, and must be associated with the employee. Which configuration is required to enable the association with the employee?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is using a Generic Object or User field instead of the dedicated Employee field, which may seem similar but does not provide the proper association for HR data.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Add a field of type 'Employee' to the MDF object and set it as a valid association.
To associate a custom MDF object with an employee, the correct configuration is to add a field of type 'Employee' and set it as an association. This creates a direct link to the employee record, enabling the visa information to be stored and retrieved for each employee. Other field types do not establish the necessary referential integrity.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Add a field of type 'Employee' to the MDF object and set it as a valid association.
Why this is correct
In MDF, to associate a custom object with an employee, you must include a field of type 'Employee' (or 'User') and configure it as an association. This creates a link between the MDF record and the employee, allowing the visa information to be stored per employee.
- ✗
Add a 'User' field and configure it as a picklist from the User object.
Why it's wrong here
While a 'User' field can associate with users, it is not the standard way to link to employees in Employee Central. The Employee object is the primary entity for employee data. Using a User field might work but is not the recommended practice for employee associations, especially for HR data like visas.
- ✗
Create a composite association with the 'Job Information' object.
Why it's wrong here
A composite association with Job Information would link the visa object to job data, not directly to the employee. While it might indirectly relate to the employee through Job Information, the requirement is to associate with the employee record itself, which is better done with a direct Employee field.
- ✗
Use a 'Generic Object' field and populate it with the employee ID.
Why it's wrong here
A Generic Object field does not create a proper association with the Employee object. It would store a value but not establish a referential link, meaning the system would not recognize it as an employee association. This would hinder reporting and validation.
