Position Lifecycle
Position Funding is one stage in the Position Lifecycle. Funding can be maintained throughout a position's lifecycle, whether it is vacant or filled. It is recommend to add and/or update position funding before an employee is hired into a position.
The image is a circular flowchart illustrating the Position Lifecycle in UCPath. It consists of four interconnected circles, with a central circle labeled Position Funding that connects all stages.
At the top, a gold circle labeled Vacant Position Management represents the start, covering creating, updating, and inactivating positions. An arrow leads to Hiring into a Position, shown in a lighter shade, representing hiring, rehiring, and concurrent hires. Another arrow moves to Filled Position Management, where employee position and job data updates, such as promotions, and reclassifications occur. The final stage, Separating from a Position, involves transfers, terminations, and retirements, leading back to Vacant Position Management to determine if the position remains active.
