Jobs & Positions

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

Job Details
Define the following basic information for jobs:
Effective start date
Job set
Name
Code
A job code must be unique within a set. Therefore, you can create a job with the code DEV01 in the US set and another job with the
same code in the UK set. However, if you create a job with the code DEV01 in the Common set, then you cannot create a job with the
same code in any other set
Lookups are lists of values in applications. Several lookup types are available for jobs that have user customization levels. You should
review these lookups, and update them as appropriate to suit enterprise requirements. The lookup types for jobs are:
JOB_FUNCTION_CODE: Description of the primary function of a job (used for grouping and reporting jobs)
MANAGER_LEVEL: Description of the seniority of a manager
EVAL_SYSTEM: Identifies the evaluation system used for the job or position
EVAL_SYSTEM_MEAS: Measurement unit for the evaluation criteria
You can identify a job as being a benchmark job. A benchmark job represents other jobs in reports and salary surveys. You can also
select the benchmark for jobs. Benchmark details are for informational purposes only.

Job Details
A progression job is the next job in a career ladder. Progression jobs enable you to create a hierarchy of jobs and
are used to provide the list of values for the Job field in the Promote Worker and Transfer Worker tasks. The list of
values includes the next three jobs in the progression job hierarchy
You can specify the grades that are valid for a job. If you are using positions, then the grades that you specify for
the job become the default grades for the position.
You can define evaluation criteria for a job, including the evaluation system, a date, and the unit of measure for the
system. One predefined evaluation system is available, and that is the Hay system.
A job family is a group of jobs that have different but related functions, qualifications, and titles. They are beneficial for
reporting. Examples include:
Administration
Finance and Accounting
Support
Logistics
You set up the job families and then enter a job family when defining a job.

Jobs & Positions
Position Details
At the position, you can see the name of the incumbent(s), and also the history of incumbents
Jobs are shared by Sets and Positions are assigned to BUs
You add a position to a specific department and location
You can associate evaluation criteria and a profile with positions.
Many of the existing fields at the job also exist at the position, and the application populates the Valid Grades
region with the grades that you set up for the job on which you are basing the position.
Lookups :
SECURITY_CLEARANCE: Classifies if security clearance is needed (system)
EVAL_SYSTEM: Identifies the evaluation system used for the job or position (user)
EVAL_SYSTEM_MEAS: Measurement unit for the evaluation criteria (user)
BARGAINING_UNIT_CODE: Identifies a legally organized group of people which have the right to negotiate
on all aspects of terms and conditions with employers or employer federations (extensible)
PROBATION_PERIOD: Specifies the unit of measurement for the probation period of a position (user)

Position Trees
If you need to make changes to the tree, you can create a new
version. Only one version can be active at a time. You can have only
one top-level node for a position tree
You can use position trees for the following purpose:
Secure access to positions by identifying a position hierarchy in a
position security profile.
For example, you can create a position security profile that
includes all positions in a position hierarchy below a specified top
position.
You can also include the position security profile in a person
security profile to secure access to person records.
In this case, the person security profile includes the person records
of the people who occupy the positions in the position security profile.

Working with Profiles
You can associate jobs and positions with model
profiles that are created in Oracle Fusion Profile
Management.
A model profile is a collection of the work
requirements and required skills and
qualifications of a workforce structure, such as a
job or position.
This association enables you to define the work
requirements and the required competencies,
degrees, and other skills for the job or position.
This association also enables you to compare
profiles and use the best-fit analysis for tasks
such as finding the worker best-suited for a job or
for helping workers identify their next career
