PA01


PA01.1 - Position Class



Use Position Class (PA01.1) to create a new position class or to assign
positions to an existing position class. A position class clusters position
codes together for inquiry, reporting, and totaling. PA01.1 displays the
positions
in a position class.



**More Information

By assigning positions to more than one class, you can see positions
in many different ways. For example, you could display the total number of
all manager positions in the company. Or you could display all the positions
in a department, which could include some manager positions.
When you add a position to a position class, the number of budgeted
positions, the variance, and the position status display for the position
in the position class. A position does not have to be active to be added to
a position class. You can also add a position that has a future effective
date.

PA01.2 - Position Class by Position



Use Position Class By Position (PA01.2) to assign a position to position
classes. A position class clusters position codes together for inquiry,
reporting,
and totaling. PA01.2 displays the position classes to which a position is
assigned.



**More Information

You can assign positions to more than one class, which lets you see
positions in many different ways. For example, you could display the total
number of all manager positions in the company. Or you could display all the
positions in a department, which could include some manager positions.

PA01.3 - Position Class Totals



Use Position Class Totals (PA01.3) to view the current number of employees
assigned to positions in a position class.



**Processing Effect

The Personnel Administration system calculates budgeted and authorized
counts for the position class by adding the individual counts for every
position
in the position class.
When both authorized and budgeted head counts are used within a single
position class, the variance calculated for the position class will not be
a simple arithmetic calculation.
Example:
Position A and Position B are in the same position class and different
rules have been defined for each. Position A uses authorized counts and
Position
B uses budgeted counts. Because the positions use different rules, the formula
for calculating variance is different for each position.
For Position A, Variance = Authorized - Assigned
For Position B, Variance = Budgeted - Assigned

The system calculates the variance for each position using the appropriate
formula based on rules defined for that position. The variance totals for
the position class are  calculated by adding the variance for each position
in the position class. A message displays indicating whether the positions
in this position class use authorized counts, budgeted counts, or both.
