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 circle labeled Vacant Position Management represents the start, covering creating, updating, and inactivating positions. An arrow leads to Hiring into a Position, 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.
