Employee position

Employee positions determine how a work schedule in an employee contract will be set up. Each base contract must have a unique position code while an employee can have one or more position assignments in a school or in different schools.

Positions are different from jobs.

Job vs. position

A job is a specific task or set of tasks or duties in an organization, while a position represents a functional part of the organization. For example, you can set teacher as a job or job code and define positions or position codes for an English teacher, a Biology teacher, and an Algebra teacher. In this example, the position codes are associated with the job code for teacher.
