Discontinue a Position
If a position is no longer needed and is not filled by an employee, it can be discontinued. This will prevent the position from displaying in open position lists. The position can be re-opened at any time. Either an HR Staff person or an HR Manager can discontinue a position.
1. From the home page or left menu, click Administer Positions.
2. In the "Manage Positions" section, click Add, Update or Discontinue Positions.
3. In the first Status menu, make sure "Open" is displayed.
4. Select the position to discontinue from the second Position menu.
5. Click Discontinue.
Troubleshooting
The position is not displayed in the selection menu.
Make certain the position has not been filled by an employee. To see all filled positions, select "Closed" in the Status menu; the menu underneath will then show all closed positions. You will need to remove the employee from the position before you can discontinue the position (see Record a departure and Record a position change).
