Examples of Position Titles and PositionsThe Position Titles option in Human Resources is used to define the various job titles available within the school district, such as Teacher, Principal, Custodian, and Cook. With the Position Titles option, job titles which are available in organizations outside of the school district (such as Sales Clerk, Customer Service Representative, and Bank Teller) can also be defined for tracking employer history.
Within the Position Titles option, position types are also defined in order to group the job titles into categories (such as Administration, Certified, Extracurricular, Food Service, Bus Drivers, etc.) for sorting and reporting purposes.
Once a position title has been created, a position assignment is added within the Positions option by taking a position title and specifying the position description, position location, FTE value, and the employee currently holding the position. For example, the position title of "Principal" is added (in this specific example, added three times) to create the positions of "Elementary School Principal", "Middle School Principal", and "High School Principal", and the position title of "Teacher" is added to create the positions of "First Grade Teacher", "Second Grade Teacher", and "Third Grade Teacher". The position titles created for positions which are available in organizations outside of the school district are not added within the Positions option.
Note: Each school district determines how detailed or general the position titles and positions are defined within the Human Resources module; when deciding what to use for position titles and positions, be sure to consider your school district's needs for reporting requirements. See the Examples of Position Titles and Positions topic in the Help File for specific samples of general and more detailed position titles and positions, and how a few reports could be generated for each.
