What is the difference between Concurrent Employment and Multiple Employment in SAP HR?

In SAP HR, Concurrent Employment and Multiple Employment are two ways to manage situations where an employee holds more than one position within the same company.

Concurrent Employment:

Concurrent Employment in SAP HR refers to a situation where an employee maintains multiple active employment relationships within the same legal entity. Each employment relationship has its own unique personnel number in the system, and the employee can hold different positions or work in different departments simultaneously.

Multiple Employment:

Multiple Employment, on the other hand, involves an employee holding positions in different legal entities or companies within the same client in SAP HR. In this case, each employment relationship is assigned a unique personnel number, but they belong to different entities or companies under the same SAP client.

Both Concurrent Employment and Multiple Employment allow organizations to efficiently manage complex workforce scenarios, but the key difference lies in the scope of employment relationships within the same legal entity or across different legal entities under the same client.
