| <title>Find Employee Positions</title> |
| |
| <para>An Employee Position is the authorization, typically from the budget of an |
| internal organization,for the Company to engage someone to do a job. </para> |
| |
| <para>This means that you can fill a position in a number |
| of different ways. </para> |
| |
| <para>You can fill a position with one full time person, change the assignment of |
| a position from one person to another over time, or split a position across |
| more then one person at the same a time.</para> |
| |
| <para>Positions have a status. They can be one of: Planned For, |
| Active/Open, or Inactive/Closed.</para> |
| |
| <para>Positions have a type, defined in Global HR Settings, which |
| describes the job and its pay rates. Some examples of job types could be |
| secretary, production worker, sales manager, executive vice president or |
| OFBiz programmer.</para> |
| <para> If more then one person is needed for a type of job then |
| a position must be created for each required person i.e. If 10 secretaries |
| are authorized for the Human Resource department then 10 positions are |
| created with type secretary.</para> |
| |
| <para>Positions have a reporting structure and report to other |
| positions (and not the people who hold the position). </para> |
| <para>You can identify the |
| position a position reports to and/or the positions(s) a position |
| manages.</para> |
| |
| |
| <para>NOTE: Be careful because it is possible to create circular reporting |
| structures.</para> |
