Jobs for the US

As part of your initial implementation, you specify whether to use:

Jobs and positions
Jobs only

If you're in a service industry where flexibility and organizational change are key features, you would typically use jobs without positions.

Use the Jobs task to define jobs for your organization.

Job Details

Details for a job include an effective start date, a job set, a name, and a code. They also include settings for Fair Labor Standards Act compliance and EEO and VETS reporting.

A job code must be unique within a set. Therefore, you can:

Create a job with the code DEV01 in the US set.
Create 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 can't create a job with the same code in any other set.

Benchmark Info

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.

Progression Info

A progression job is the next job in a career ladder. Progression jobs enable you to create a hierarchy of jobs. Use them to provide the list of values for Job in the Promote Worker and Transfer Worker tasks.

The list of values includes the next three jobs in the progression job hierarchy.

For example, assume that you create a job called Junior Developer and select Developer as the progression job. In the Developer job, you select Senior Developer as the progression job. When you promote a junior developer, the list of values for the new job includes Developer and Senior Developer. You can select one of these values, or select another one.

Jobs and Grades

You can assign grades that are valid for each job. If you're using positions, then the grades that you specify for the job become the default grades for the position.

Evaluation Criteria

You can define evaluation criteria for a job, including the evaluation system, a date, and the unit of measure. The Hay system is the predefined evaluation system that's available. An additional value of Custom is included in the list of values for Evaluation System, but you must add your own criteria and values for this system.
