WO/CCBREQ# CCBREQ-4639
Description
As of 27.01.2017, it is no longer mandatory to assign positions to consultants and maintain consultant in staffing table.
Therefore, when HR Partner-CIC processes Personnel Action “Enter Non staff-No PY’.
- At IT0001, position is optional for Consultant (EE group X, subgroup X1)
- At IT0001, Org Unit is optional for Consultant (EE group X, subgroup X1)
This change in process will expedite the hiring of consultants and reduce the effort in maintenance of master records. It should however be noted that as a consequence of not maintaining positions, staffing table reports will not capture consultants. In that case, HR Partner may utilise the Purchase Order to obtain information on consultants.
Consultants already assigned to a position will remain associated with the Position until an exit Personnel Action is executed.
Please note, a Job Aid providing details about this change is available in the following communities in United Connection:
