Before You Begin: You should use this form only if your organization uses Position Management. If your organization doesn’t use Position Management, use the Job Assignment Change form.
Use the Position Change form to add a position that an employee is eligible to work. It records their position, whether it's a primary or secondary position, and the job’s pay rate.
When you open the form, it shows the employee’s current positions and related work assignment information in a read-only format. To add a new position, click Add at the top of the form and fill in the details.
In the Position Assignments section, you assign the employee to occupy a vacant position in the hierarchy in Organization Designer > Positions. The Managing Position list is filtered to show only managers who have vacant positions under them as of the effective date that you entered on the form. If no effective date is entered, the list shows managers who have vacant positions as of today’s date. You must select a manager first before you can select a position and location.
The Primary Position? checkbox is selected by default and the new position becomes the employee’s primary position. With this checkbox selected, the Effective To field is inactive because primary positions can’t have an end date unless another work assignment begins immediately after. When the position change is approved, Dayforce end dates the previous primary position and all primary and secondary work assignments associated with it. If the employee had a primary job work assignment, that assignment is end dated. Secondary positions or jobs and their associated work assignments aren’t end dated. When the primary position and work assignments change, Dayforce updates the jobs that the employee can be scheduled to work and the locations where they can work. These details are shown in the Work > Work Assignments screen of People.
For a new primary position, the Primary Location drop-down list is required, and the selected location becomes the primary work assignment for the employee. The selected location becomes the primary work assignment for the employee. If the position has multiple locations, they become secondary work assignments. The employee is also assigned to occupy the selected position. You can view their occupancy in the hierarchy in Organization Designer > Positions.
Clear the Primary Position? checkbox to add the new position as a secondary position.
