23.2 About Job Information

You can track detailed information about the jobs within your organization. You can use this information to:

  • Track pay and other types of information about jobs

  • Satisfy reporting requirements

  • Simplify the process of entering employee information

  • Evaluate jobs to determine how to compensate the employees who work in each job

You can review job information and the employees who are assigned to a particular job. When you change information for a job, you can globally apply your changes to the job information for all of the employees who are assigned to that job.

You can also record auxiliary job information, such as the major responsibilities, authority level, or the background requirements for each job. This type of job information is called profile data.

You can use your JD Edwards World system to define criteria for evaluating jobs. You can then evaluate jobs to determine how to compensate the employees in each of your jobs.

After you define jobs, you can review information about them. You can review job information by:

  • Profile data

  • Employee

  • Evaluation method

  • Pay range

  • Pay grade

You can use several types of reports to review job information, including:

  • Job reports

  • Job evaluation reports

  • Pay grade and pay step progression reports

Processing job information includes:

  • Defining jobs

  • Reviewing jobs

  • Updating jobs globally

  • Working with obsolete jobs

  • Reviewing job reports
