Positions are allocated to Employees which will then build that Employee's required or desired skill set.
For every position that has it's own set of competency requirements, a new position should be created, as competencies are allocated to these positions so it is advisable to be as specific as you can when building these.
For example, if you have two Employees, one is a tennis coach and the other is a swimming coach - simply adding 'Coach' as a position is not advisable if, in the case of a Swimming Coach they need a CPR Certificate which the Tennis Coach does not. In this case two positions should be created.
To add a new position, select People Central in the left hand navigation and then click on 'Positions' on the far right hand side.
It is recommended that you create the positions that other positions report to initially so you can use the 'Report To' field - see below.
Click on the New Position button and complete the following fields:-
Position Name: Enter the name of the new position.

Department: You can allocate by choosing an option from the drop down list what Department this position belongs to.
