What is Vacant Position Management about?
The Position Control module in UCPath is essential for creating, maintaining, and updating vacant position data. Position data forms the backbone of UCPath operations, influencing job creation, employee assignments, and organizational structure. Positions are essential to the function of many other parts of UCPath.
The Position Management training equips Initiators and Approvers with the knowledge and hands-on experience necessary to confidently create, update, and manage vacant positions in UCPath. This training is structured to ensure confidence in foundational knowledge and practical application. Over time, as you become familiar with the system, you’ll begin to recognize patterns and think about how these transactions fit into the bigger picture.
Vacant Position Management is just one stage in the Position Lifecycle:
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.
