You can create a new job or copy an existing job and modify it.

See Copying jobs.

  2. Click Create.
  3. On the Detail tab, specify this information:

    The job number is assigned by the system after you save the job.

    Required. Specify a name for the job.

    Specify the date on which the job description was last updated.

    Document

    To attach a written job description, browse to the document, click Open, and then OK.

    Salary Structure

    Select a salary structure for the job. For more information, see the Infor Compensation Management User Guide.

    Note: 

    Select either a salary structure or a step and grade schedule. You cannot select both.

    Salary Structure Grade

    If you selected a salary structure, select a salary structure grade.

    If you did not select a salary structure, you cannot specify a salary structure grade.

    Step and Grade Schedule

    Select a step and grade schedule.

    Note: 

    Select either a salary structure or a step and grade schedule. You cannot select both.

    If you selected a step and grade schedule, you can select a step and grade.

    Exempt from Overtime

    Check whether this job is exempt from overtime.

    Note: 

    This field displays only if your organization is configured for the US.

    Change Positions

    This button becomes active when you inactivate a job that has multiple positions. You can change the job associated with the positions or inactivate all the positions. This button is irrelevant for synchronized jobs, because the Active field is one of the synchronized fields.

    Do You Want To Create A Synchronized Position?

    This question is displayed when you add a job if you selected Sometimes for your organization's rule for Auto Create Positions From Jobs. Select the check box for the job to create a synchronized position.

    If you are updating a job, and a position exists with the same short description, the field label is different. The label is 'Synchronize The Description and Active Status Fields To Position [name of position]' . You can toggle this field on and off to remove or add synchronization.

  4. In the Classification section, specify this information:
    Job Level

    If your organization uses job levels, select a job level for the job.

    Job Family

    If your organization uses job families, select a job family for the job.

    Job Category, Job Sub Category

    If your organization uses Talent Acquisition, select a job category, and optional subcategory for the job.

  5. Optional. On the Summary tab, specify this information:
    Note: 

    When you specify the job responsibilities, they are available to Talent Acquisition requisitions as part of the position description on job postings.

    Summary

    Specify a summary of the job.

    Responsibilities

    Specify the job responsibilities.

    Other information

    Specify other job information that would be helpful for candidates or recruiters.

  6. Click Save. The other job tabs become available.
    Note: 

    After you save the job, if the job automatically creates a position, the application creates the synchronized position. The application uses the default job rules for the Salary Structure, Salary Structure Grade, or Step and Grade Schedule and Step Grade fields to populate the equivalent fields in the synchronized position.

    You can use these tasks to add optional information to the job. Country attributes may be required for specific countries. Job competencies, skills, education, and credentials are used mostly by Talent Acquisition and can be used by managers to compare a resource's qualifications to those described on a job, but they can also be added at the position level.
