PA02

PA02.1 - Position

Use PA02.1 (Position) to define formal positions.

If you use formal positions, you define position rules in PA06.1 (Position
Rules) that describe your position management business requirements. Position
rules must be established before positions can be defined.

The position defaults you define in HR10.2 (Position Item Attributes)
automatically fill in position information on employee and requisition records
when you use the default option.

The following position information only defaults for Level 1 positions:
salary class, pay frequency, pay grade, exempt employee, overtime plan code,
expense account information, security level, security location, and annual
hours.

Currency does not default for any position level.

You can budget and track positions and the FTE (Full-Time Equivalents)
factors for each process level and department.

You assign effective dates to track historical data for positions codes. For
example, if the job associated with a position changes, you can create a new
effective dated record with the new information.

When you change information for a current position on PA02.1, the new
information may need to update requisitions, new employees, current employees,
and pending actions.

You can update requisitions, current employees, and pending new hire actions
in one of two ways:
- To update the information immediately, select Update Emps; Reqs Immediately
in the Update Emps,Reqs field.
- To update the information at a later time, select Update Emps; Reqs Later
in the Update Emps,Reqs field.

The system displays a message if the update is complete or incomplete. If the
update is incomplete, run PA102 (Position Update). See the Personnel
Administration Procedures Manual for more information about updating
positions.

Note: Updating position information can require four steps:
1. Change the information in PA02.1.
2. Run PA102 (Position Update).
3. Run PA100 (Action Update).
4. Use PA03.1 (Position Change).
Whether you need to follow all four steps depends on the requisitions, new
employees, current employees, and pending actions that need to be resolved. To
resolve those situations correctly, be sure to follow the four steps in the
order presented. If the message "Update Incomplete" displays after any of the
steps, go to the next step. If the message "Update Complete" displays after
any of the steps, the update process is finished and you do not need to go to
the next step.
