APooled Positions Job Aid

The purpose of this job aid is to identify when it is appropriate to pool positions in Position Management. Ideally, positions should have a 1:1 relationship (one position = one headcount). If certain criteria are met it is possible to create a multi-headcount position.

Note: Position fields must be identical.

The following fourteen (14) fields must be exactly the same in order to create a pooled position.

Company Department ID Union Code Location Job Code

Bargaining Unit Reports To Regular/Temporary Business Title Salary/Admin Plan

Standard Hrs Full/Part Time Grade FTE

Types of Positions Pooled

• Hourly employees such as students or temporary casual appointments

• Graduate employees

Two temporary/casual appointments = Pooled “217675” and “217677”

Hourly student positions = Pooled “217680”

BPooled Positions Job Aid (cont.)

Creating/Updating Headcount for Position Record

Set headcount in the Max Head Count field when creating or updating position record.

Do’s & Don’ts of Position Pooling

• Pooling allows a position manager to associate multiple jobs in one position.

• Supervisors are never pooled.

• Positions should mirror the job data of the incumbents.

Position Management Approval

Leadership and Talent Development/OHR Position Management: Updating Existing Positions www.umn.edu/ohr/training 1-21-15

A

All position requests require the Approve/Deny field in Position Management pages to reflect “Approve” before using position data. This job aid outlines the approval process.

Approval Process

1. Click <Save> to record the position request in HRMS.

2. Requests requiring Central Position Management Approval will save with a status of “Proposed”. The request will be placed into an approval queue. Central Position Management will:

• Facilitate the appropriate central review of the request.

• Call or follow up with the department with questions on the request.

• <Approve> or <Deny> the request.

• Notify the position managers, via email, on approval or denial of request.

3. Requests that do NOT require approval will automatically save with a status of “Approved”.

• Approvals and Denials are reflected on the position management record.

4. Position records will record the employee username, date, and time the record was created, updated, approved or denied on the position pages.

Central Position Management will strive to act upon requests within 48 hours and departments may be contacted with questions during that timeframe.

New Position Management Requests

• All new position management requests require approval from Central Position Management.

• Position Status must be “Approved” prior to data use in HRMS.

• Requests should be submitted using the Position Management Request (PMR) Form which contains the appropriate authorized signature within the unit.

Updating Existing Positions

Leadership and Talent Development/OHR Position Management: Updating Existing Positionswww.umn.edu/ohr/training 1-28-15

A

The purpose of this job aid is to give Position Managers a step by step guide on updating existing positions in HRMS based on the unit initiated Position Management Request Form.

Step 1 - Units Consult with Position Management (optional)

• Pro-actively discussing the needs and requirements of a position between the unit and the position manager will lessen the amount of questions and follow up prior to data entry.

Step 2 - Review PMR Form for Completion

• Position Managers should review the data on the Position Management Request Form.

• Is all data complete on the form?

• Is the reason code accurate?

• Does the form have the appropriate signatures?

• Is there a new position description?

Step 3 - Review Unit Position Management Data in HRMS

• Review HRMS position data for the record being changed.

• Is the change appropriate given the data within HRMS?

• Does the status of the position allow for updates?

• Is the effective date historical? If yes, what ramifications does this update have for previously processed timesheets, absences, benefits, etc?

Step 4 - Follow up with Unit Initiator to resolve questions

• Communicate with the unit about questions pertaining to the request.

• Since the source of data originates from Position Management and flows into other HRMS modules it is critical that all data in Position Management is accurate?

Step 5 - Enter Request for Updates to Position in HRMS

• Enter data from Position Management Request (PMR) form.

Step 6 - Review Data in HRMS vs. PMR Form prior to saving

• Is data the same?

• Are there discrepancies? If data is not the same then investigate possible reasons prior to saving the record. If unresolved then cancel request in HRMS and re-enter once data is confirmed.

Step 9 - Monitor Approvals

• Depending on the nature of the update to the existing position the request may require approval from Central Position Management or may automatically save as “Approved” upon clicking <Save>.

• Monitor the status of the approvals within the position record.

• Central Position Management will send an email notification to the position manager after completing action upon the request.

Step 10 - Review for Completion in HRMS & Notify Unit

• Once approvals are processed review the position record for accuracy.
