When an employee job is terminated, but the contract still has a remaining balance (either owed to the employee or owed to the district), the Job Balance Transfer module allows the user to transfer that contract amount to another position/contract as long as it is a salary job and the job record is set to Primary = YES for the new job.
Example: Teacher 1 - Owes $1000 from their previous job. Teacher 1 - Transfers to a new Job. They still owe $1000. Focus transfers that to their new job so it can be deducted hypothetically $100 a month. Instead of the lump sum of $1000.
Prior to tranferring job balances, the following steps must take place:
