Setting up job structure

You create a job structure to define the different roles that employees occupy within a company. You are not required to create a job structure. Instead, a job structure provides a powerful tool for describing and classifying jobs in the company. The job structure provides the framework for employment equity reporting, wage analysis, and workers' compensation reports. Also, you can use a job structure to manage staffing.

We recommend that you plan out your job structure on paper before you define the job structure in the Human Resources application. Pre-planning reduces the possibility of defining incorrect elements in the structure. Before you define jobs, you must define an HR company. See Defining a company.
