You recently created a supervisory organization that uses the Position Management staffing model. Before you can hire into the organization, what business process must you execute first?
In Workday, when a supervisory organization uses the Position Management staffing model, each hire must be associated with a specific position. Before initiating a hire, an administrator or HR partner must execute the Create Position business process to establish that position record.
This process defines critical attributes such as:
Job Profile (e.g., HR Analyst, Accountant),
Location,
Time Type (Full-time/Part-time),
Worker Type (Employee or Contingent Worker),
Availability Date and Earliest Hire Date, and
Position Restrictions that control who and how hiring can occur.
Once the position is created and approved through the configured workflow, it becomes available for hiring via the Hire Employee business process. Without an open, approved position, the system will not allow a hire in Position Management organizations.
