As you define roles in your enterprise, you can describe their responsibilities, requirements, and working conditions. There are a number of ways to enter additional information about a role:
For positions, you can enter the location, probation period and working hours in the standard fields.
See: Defining a Position
You can attach documents to each job or position record.
See: Using Attachments
You can add up to twenty additional fields to the Job window, and up to thirty to the Position window using a descriptive flexfield.
You can add any number of Extra Information Types (EITs) to each window.
See: Setting Up Extra Information Types (Excluding Organization EITs)
You may need to add other information, such as required qualifications or valid experience. You do this by entering competencies against jobs and positions.
See: Defining Competence Requirements - No Core Competencies
Comparing and Relating Roles
You may also want to relate roles to each other and define the relative grading of the roles. You can relate roles in the following ways:
By forming multiple hierarchies of positions to show reporting relationships or career paths.
By linking jobs into multiple career paths to show suggested progression paths.
By recording successor positions and relief positions (to cover in the case of absence) against each position.
See: Defining a Position
By recording the grades that are valid for each job and position.
If you use an evaluation system (such as the Hay Evaluation System) to compare roles, you can set up fields to hold evaluation information and an overall score for each job and position.
