Set Time Zone Aware Pre-hires/Terminations
A worker's termination or activation is processed based on the time zone of the worker's location in SuccessFactors.
Activation and termination behaviors
The following worker activation and termination behaviors occur when you enable Time Zone Aware Pre-hires/Terminations in Okta. The location detection and scheduled activation or termination is based on the associated time zone of the worker's location.
- Time Zone Aware Terminations: Okta detects the location of the worker and processes their scheduled termination (based on their Termination Date from SuccessFactors). The worker is deactivated on the next scheduled import after midnight in the worker's time zone.
- Time Zone Aware Pre-hires: Okta detects the location of the worker and processes their scheduled activation (based on their Start Date from SuccessFactors). This worker is activated on the next scheduled import after midnight in the worker's time zone.
For example, Cathy is based in Sydney, Australia, and that location in SuccessFactors has a time zone of GMT+10.
Cathy's termination is scheduled for July 4. If the Time Zone Aware Pre-hires/Terminations feature isn't enabled, Cathy's termination is processed on the next import after midnight UTC as all deactivations are fixed on the UTC time zone (GMT). With the Time Zone Aware Pre-hires/Terminations feature enabled, Cathy is deactivated in Okta on the next import after midnight in Sydney time (GMT+10). Effectively, Cathy is deactivated 18 hours before she would have been deactivated in the past.
