Job

A job is a position of paid employment, a piece of work, a specific task tobe done. On HRplus, it is an attribute tied to the position.

There are three tabs  to be filled out when creating a new 'Job' record. They are: 

  1. Job Description
  2. Job Parameters
  3. Other Characteristics

Step 1: Create a New Job

Step 2.0 : Enter the Job Description

Job Code: This is a user-defined unique code that you associate with a specific job in your organization. Field length is up to 8 characters. (Required field)

Job Name: Enter the name of the Job that you are creating. (Required field)

Org Level: Allows you to define if, in this example, the Job is that of a Level 1 or Level 2 Supervisor. Note, this is simply for record keeping and has no impact on any other screen.

Job Grade: A Job Grade can also have the name "job level" or even "job classification"depending on the company. The concept is the same for all. The Job Grade reflects the amount of responsibility, impact and scope that a job has and may further be defined by impact, seniority, knowledge, skills. Job Grades are typically associated with a salary range or salary grades and a series of job titles. They can be grouped into five areas. E.g. executive management, middle management, management, advisors and employees. On HRplus, the job grade is directly linked to the salary grades, so the salary grades must be setup first to be available for selection here. See link on how to set this up: How to setup Salary Grades?

Job Description: This lays out the responsibilities of what is required for the job to be done. Enter the description for the job here. (Required field)

Pay Type: You can use M for Monthly, W for Weekly or any other description of your choice. 2 characters are allowed. Note, this is for record-keeping purposes and does not have an impact on the salary or wages of the job.

Probation Length (Months): Enter the number of months of probation for a new hire into this job. NB: The value entered in this window will be used to calculate when an employee's probation period will end and a reminder/notification can be set up to prompt user action.

Job Group/Family: Select a job family to categorize a job into a more general grouping. For example, you may group an accounts clerk and senior accountant into the job family Accounting. Note that the job family would have had to be setup to be available for selection here. See link on how to set this up: How to setup job families?

Step 2.1 : Enter Job Parameters

Retirement Age: Enter here the standard retirement age for the job. Eg. 60

Shift Job: Select "Yes"or "No"if persons who are employed in this job are required to work using a shift system.

Working Hours: Enter the time period within which workers must complete standard working hours.

Position Authority: Indicate the level of authority of the Job.

Critical Job Level: A critical job is one that if it were vacant, would have a significant impact on the organization's ability to conduct normal business. These positions may be managerial, technical or a support role in nature that can be occupied or vacant. Enter the information here if this differentiation is used by your company. Note that the critical job levels would have had to be setup to be available for selection here.
