Editing and calculating jobs and positions

Some changes that you make to the attributes of jobs or positions can require associated pay and benefits to be recalculated. Examples of such changes are a change of salary in a job or a change of start date in a position.

When you make such changes, the values of all the benefits that are shown on the Actions tab of the position return to zero. Click the Calculate icon in the toolbar to recalculate the associated pay and benefits for a position.

If you click Calculate on a job then every position that inherits the changes from the job is recalculated. When you calculate on a position, only that position is affected.

  1. Click the Home icon.
  2. Select Module Settings and Budgeting.
  3. To access the list of available jobs, select Configuration > Job Definition.
  4. To access the list of available positions, select Data Entry > Positions.
  5. From the standard dimensions select the context of the job or position to edit.
  6. Search for and select the job or position to edit.
  7. Click the Edit icon in the toolbar.
  8. Edit the position or job as required.
    If your change affects the calculation of pay and benefits then the values of all actions that are associated with the position return to zero.
  9. Click the Calculate icon in the toolbar.
    Configuration changes that require recalculations must be followed by further data update in the Allocation report or the Employee Roster page.
