Position Management

Any new position paid through our payroll system must have an assigned position number. All new staff positions must be approved and classified before a position number can be assigned. All single headcount academic positions must be approved by the Provost Office before a position number can be assigned.

The following are tools to assist you in position management.

Request for Academic Position Hire- used to create all new "single" academic positions. Single refers to the headcount of a position.
Request for Temporary Staff Position- used to create all new "pool" academic positions. Also used to create new temporary staff positions (temporary hourly/monthly w/o benefits, retiree hourly/monthly, student employee hourly/monthly).
Online Position Description- used to create all new regular staff positions. Replaces the old Position Description Questionnaire (PDQ).
Request to Change Current Appointment Status- used to accompany PAF indicating reductions of any type on an employee.
Request for New Department Code in Academic Affairs- used to create new academic department codes. All new codes must be approved by the Provost Office.
