Set Position
Immediately after an employee has been added to the system, the employee's record displays. The next step is to set the position that the employee will fill. Until the position has been set, the employee will not appear in any current employee lists. The employee's position must have been created in the system and have been designated as open (the position is not filled by another employee or discontinued).
1. From the employee's record, click Set Position under the "Individual Information" section.
2. In the Position menu, select the open position for the employee.
3.The Start Date, the date that the employee started work in that position, is set to today's date by default. Select a new date from the menu if the start date is different.
4. Under Salary, select the currency that the employee is paid in and enter the salary that the employee is paid.
5. Click Confirm and confirm that the information entered is correct. If it is not correct, click Edit to change it. If it is, click Save to save the position.
6. The new position information will appear in the employee's record in the "Position Information" section. Click the position title to view information about that position.
Troubleshooting
An error message appears when Confirm is clicked.
Make certain that a position has been selected and the salary has been entered. All required fields are outlined in red. Fill in the missing information and try saving again. If you do not want to set a position after all, click Return (do not save changes).
There is no open position to set for the employee.
The position must be created in the system and marked open before it can be assigned to an employee (see Add, update or discontinue a position).
The correct currency is not available for selection.
The currency must be added to the system by an HR Manager (see Add a currency).
