Position Management (POSM)

Use the Position tab to view specific position information.

Use the Position Status Maintenance tab to create/view a position, change the status of an existing position, and define or change profile attributes of a position.

• You can create a new position by selecting the Create Position Status Maintenance action from the tab-level menu.

• You can modify a position by selecting the Modify action from the row-level menu.

Use the Position Employee Roster tab to view profile information for employees within a position, such as Employee/Appointment ID, Name, Employment Status, Title/Sub-Title, and Percent Full-Time. You can also go directly to the Employee Profile Management activity folder via the View Employee Details row-level action.

Use the Position Authorization Maintenance tab to view the authorized strength of a position for a fiscal year, at the position and position group level. Position Authorization Maintenance requires you to authorize both the number of incumbents allowed in a position and the allowable full-time equivalents (FTEs) for that position. A position must be authorized and open in the system before an incumbent is appointed to the position.

This page also allows you to define the set amount of budget and unit information for a position in a given fiscal year that can be spent for that specific position.

This tab contains the following actions:

• Create Position Authorization Maintenance -This tab-level action creates and opens the Position Authorization Maintenance (PAMT) transactions, which allows you to establish an employee on the system database.

• Modify - This row-level action creates and opens the Position Authorization Maintenance (PAMT) transactions, which allows you to modify the employee details.

Use the Position Description tab to track and audit the description for position characteristics, such as assigning physical requirements, licenses, skills, special pay type codes, and so forth. Position descriptions can be created or modified by selecting the Create New Position Description or Modify Position Description actions from the desired row-level menu.

Position Descriptions can be audited or corrected based on the authorization of the person modifying the position description. Audit and Correction capability is dependent on the resource group privileges, which allows only certain individuals the authority to make corrections to audited records. This enables regulation of the audit process by controlling the number of individuals making minor or irrelevant changes to the audited records. For individuals that only have audit capability, only an Audit check box appears on the Position Description tab. For individuals that have both audit and correction capability, both an Audit check box and a Correction check box are displayed and the position coordinators have write privileges. The Audit check box is used to allow auditing of a new or existing Position Description record, and the Correction check box is used to allow the user to make minor corrections or adjustments to the existing Position Description record.

This tab contains the following actions:

• Create New Position Description-This tab-level action creates and opens the Position Description (PDSC) transaction, which allows you to track and audit the description for position characteristics.

• Modify - This row-level action creates and opens the Position Description (PDSC) transaction, which allows you to modify the position description details.
