Constituent Employment

The Constituent Employment entry form links Constituents to their employers which exist in the Development module with an Account type of Corporation. Select the Matching Gift field and CAMS automatically calculates all available matching pledges/gifts when the Update Matching Gifts routine is run from Development >Update >Matching Gifts for linked employers. Employers without a record in CAMS may also be entered without the need to create a Corporation Account Type in CAMS. Multiple employers may be added. The same employer may be added multiple times if the dates are different between entries.

Note: Employment entries remain linked throughout CAMS for records that move through the system from Prospect to Student to Constituent (or Student to Constituent).

To Link a Constituent to an Employer:

  1. From the CAMS Enterprise Home page, click Development >Constituent >Change Profile. The Constituent Employment form opens. Click the Employment option on the More tab of the Constituent Profile window.
  2. Right-click in the data grid, and then click the search icon to access the Company selection form. Enter search criteria and then click Find. Remember that the company must be entered into CAMS as a Constituent with Account Type of Corporation in order to appear in this list. Double-click the appropriate company to open the constituent Employment entry form.
  3. To add an employer without adding them as a Corporation Account Type Constituent, do not use the Company search and simply type the company information in the New Company Details text box.
  4. The Active field defaults to Yes. If this is not a current employer, click No.
  5. Enter Employment Start & End Date, Job Title, Phone, and Business Email if desired.
  6. Select the appropriate Job Category (Glossary: Job Category) and Salary Range (Glossary Table: Salary Range).
  7. Click Yes if the Employer provides matching gifts. Matching amounts are set in Development >Constituent >Change Profile >Profile 2 tab when the Constituent Account type is Corporation.

Note: Only employers with an Account Type of Corporation in CAMS and that are linked to the Constituent will automatically add Matching Gifts.

  1. Enter the Matching Start Date for when the matching gifts are effective. If left blank, then all the constituent's gifts (historical giving) will be considered for matching when running the Update Matching Gifts procedure in Development >Update >Matching Gifts.
  2. Click Add to save this information, or Cancel to exit without saving.
