Understanding 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.

• Simplify the process of entering employee information.

You can review job information and the employees who are assigned to a particular job.

To help you determine equitable pay ranges for a job, you can evaluate each job by degrees or points, depending on the evaluation method that you link to each job.

When you define a job, you can track additional information that is unique to your organization or your industry. For example, if a senior consultant job requires fluency in another language, you can track the language skills required for the job.

Periodically, you might need to update job information. For example, when management negotiates a new contract with a union, you typically need to update the pay rates for the pay grade steps associated with the union members' jobs. When you change information for a job, you can globally apply the changes for all of the employees who are assigned to that job.

Job information is stored in the Job Information table (F08001).
