Using Position Management

Anyone who oversees personnel budgets, is involved with hiring, or supervises another employee will be accessing and updating information connected to positions.  All time reporting, pay adjustments, job changes, reporting relationships, recruitment, and budgeting are reported by position. Positions are a critical tool for all managers with the new HRMS system.

Position Management enables the University to provide detailed, current information about the people who work here. Everyone employed by the University is assigned a position.  Whether people are full-time, part-time, temporary, students, graduate students, interns, or private instructors, they are linked to at least one position.  In cases where an employee may have multiple appointments or are working in more than one department, the employee may be assigned to more than one position.  On the other hand, there are instances where more than one employee may be assigned to one position (i.e. two temporary employees working in the same department). 

Positions have attributes that define them within the organization, whether an individual happens to be filling the position or not. Whenever anyone you supervise has a change to a position attribute, it is important to promptly submit a position change request. If approved, it will immediately be reflected in all publications and listings, including mailing labels, the online and printed directories. Attributes maintained for each position within Wesleyan are: 

	Position Title
	Supervisor
	Department
	Salary Budget
	Accounting
	Work Schedule
