Processing in Workday
The following options are available for position creation:
Number of Positions: Typically only one, but can be more if you have multiple positions
If multiple positions:
Should have the same Job Profile and Supervisory Organization. Some details can be modified for the individual workers when adding the job later in the process.
Each position will require individual approval after submitted. For example, three positions would generate three separate approvals
Availability Date: Should match or be prior to the start of the summer appointment. You will not be able to add the job until on or after the Availability Date.
Earliest Hire Date: Should be the first date they could be hired in the position. You will not be able to make the job effective until on or after the Earliest Hire Date.
Job Profile: Typically the same title as the primary 9-Month position.
Scheduled Weekly Hours: This value will automatically calculate and populate an FTE. Note: Entering scheduled hours does not trigger payment. If the pay rate type is not 'Period Activity Pay (PAP)' then enter the number of hours the individual is expected to work each week.
Difficulty to Fill: Will default based on Job Profile. Ensure correct reason is selected.
