Change Position
Note: Changing a position also changes the information on the holder of that position. For example if you change the job code of a position, it will also change the job code of the employee in that position. When changing a position name, contact your HR Representative. Depending on the position, a new job code MAY need to be assigned.
Position changes include: Position Name, Personnel Area (another building within the same organization), Cost Center Change (within the same organization), Job Code, Org Unit, and Reports to Position .
Company code cannot be changed on a position.
When changing the reports to position, it may be necessary to change the Org Unit the position reports to. Check to see if the position is managing an Org. It may be necessary to change the managed by on the previous or or change the reports to org.
Important noteImportant note:: When changing the position name, you must also change the abbreviation. If the job code is not changing, please add comments that the job code is not changing per your HR Representative or Compensation.
Page 12
Positions cannot be moved from one organization to another outside of the initial organization. A position belongs to the business unit that it was created in. If an employee is transferring to another organization, the receiving department will transfer the employee into a position within their organization. Also when making changes to subgroup and or pers subarea, be sure they are compatible. This error could cause “incorrect pay” or “no pay”. The next page indicates each company’s subgroup and pers subarea.
Reminder: Periods, commas, dashes or slashes should NOT be used in name or abbreviation.
