PA06.1 - Position Rules
Use PA06.1 (Position Rules) to define rules that indicate how you will use
positions for reporting and budgeting. You define rules such as the number of
positions an employee can hold, the minimum and maximum FTE allowed per
employee, and what should happen if you try to perform an action that would
put you over your budgeted counts. Position rules are used throughout employee
and requisition processing.
Position rules must be established for each company. Once company-level rules
are defined, they can be changed at the process level or department level.
You cannot delete a company level rule if a process or department level rule
still exists for that company.
Position rules are effective dated. This lets you to keep a historical record
of the rules you have applied and provides flexibility in the timing of
changes to your rules. When changing position rules, you can either add a new
effective dated position rule record or change the existing record.
No history is kept for changes made without adding a new effective date.
Consider adding a new effective dated record when changing rules that will
impact future counts and calculations such as count category, minimum and
maximum values, and use of authorized counts.
When you add a new effective dated company rule, you must re-define any
process level or department rules for that company. This is true even if the
rules at the process level or department are not changing.
Additional rules related to positions are established in HR00.1 (Company),
HR03.1 (Employee Status Codes), HR04.8 (Requisition Status Code), and HR10.2
(Position Item Attributes). For more information on using these forms to
establish position rules, see the Personnel Administration Procedures Manual.
