Abstract:

A three-tier employment model provides flexibility when modeling even moderately complex relationships, such as where an employee has multiple job tasks or assignments for an employer. In such an example, a top level can store information for each employee defining the type of relationship that exists between the employee and the employer, such as where the employee works for multiple entities of the employer. A middle level can capture employment terms and conditions that are associated with the relationship(s), as well as one or many work assignments, such as salary information for each assignment. A bottom level can store the actual details of the work to be performed. A three-tier approach thus provides significant flexibility in modeling the employment of a person for an enterprise, and allows companies and enterprises to easily record the reality of their complex work relationships.
