Position codes

A position code identifies a functional part of the organization and is normally used to associate a position code with a job code. For example, you could define position codes for an emergency room nurse, a surgical nurse, and a cardiac care nurse. These position codes are associated with the job code for nurse. A position code is linked to only one job code. Position codes are used for a variety of functions such as budgeting, tracking assigned resources and comparing current counts to budget.
