Job and Position Structures

Oracle Fusion

Human Capital Management


Jobs & Positions

Concepts

Job

– Is a set of roles or duties, that your workers perform

Position

– Is a specific instance of a job in a department for a business unit

Use of jobs or jobs & positions varies by industry and customer requirements

Enterprise Structures Configurator (ESC) helps you with the decision during

the implementation


Jobs & Positions

Concepts

Typically use jobs:

– If a worker leaves, in most cases the headcount is used for other purposes

(could be any job, probably even different department and salary)

Typically use positions:

– If a worker leaves, in most cases a successor is hired into the same job

and department, maybe even the same grade


Jobs & Positions

Concepts

Here are some examples of primary industries and the recommended workforce setup:

Retail Trade: Positions

Utilities: Positions

Educational Services: Positions

Public Transportation: Positions

Construction: Jobs

Management of Companies and Enterprises: Jobs

Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation: Jobs

Finance and Insurance: Jobs


Jobs & Positions

Concepts

Advantages of using positions:

Less maintenance work, because when selecting a position during hiring,

attributes are defaulted in

Vacancies can easily be tracked and reported on – If you only use jobs,

vacancies are not ‘visible’

Incumbent history at the position makes it easy to track who was when in this

position at any time (even if the position is currently vacant)


Jobs & Positions

What’s Changed?

Compared to PeopleSoft:

– PeopleSoft ‘Job Code’ is called ‘Job’ in Fusion (PeopleSoft ‘Job’ is called ‘Assignment’ in Fusion)

– In Fusion you can define multiple valid grades for a job or position

– No need to define up front Full/Partial Position Management – positions are available at the

assignment as an optional attribute

Compared to EBS:

– Integration with profiles

– Job Families have been added to group jobs

– Jobs are Set enabled in Fusion

– Positions: Incumbent Details available from the position UI


Jobs and Position Structures

Define using ESC

You can define segments in the position and job flexfields to

further identify jobs and positions in the enterprise.

For example, define attributes for a job to identify additional

details about the job, such as the nature of the work that is

performed, or the relative skill level required for the job.

If these attributes apply to all jobs in the enterprise, then set up

enterprise-level job attributes

Set up enterprise-level attributes to identify separate

components of the position name. For example, set up an

attribute for position title and one for position number.



Enterprise Level Attributes



Contextual Attributes

Jobs are Set enabled

Positions are created within a Business Unit

For jobs, you can define additional job structures for every reference data set defined in

ESC. Any attributes you set up at the reference data set level will appear alongside any

enterprise-level attributes

For positions, you can define additional position structures for every business unit defined in

the ESC. Any attributes you set up at the business unit level will appear alongside any

enterprise-level attributes
