Jobs & Positions
Concepts
 Typically use jobs:
– If a worker leaves, in most cases the headcount is used for other purposes
(could be any job, probably even different department and salary)
 Typically use positions:
– If a worker leaves, in most cases a successor is hired into the same job
and department, maybe even the same grade

Jobs & Positions
Concepts
Advantages of using positions:
 Less maintenance work, because when selecting a position during hiring,
attributes are defaulted in
 Vacancies can easily be tracked and reported on – If you only use jobs,
vacancies are not ‘visible’
 Incumbent history at the position makes it easy to track who was when in this
position at any time (even if the position is currently vacant)

Jobs and Position Structures
Define using ESC
 You can define segments in the position and job flexfields to
further identify jobs and positions in the enterprise.
 For example, define attributes for a job to identify additional
details about the job, such as the nature of the work that is
performed, or the relative skill level required for the job.
 If these attributes apply to all jobs in the enterprise, then set up
enterprise-level job attributes
 Set up enterprise-level attributes to identify separate
components of the position name. For example, set up an
attribute for position title and one for position number.
