Position and Job Management
GVSU has two staffing models: position management and job management.
Please visit the Recruitment and Hiring page for additional training and resources.
Position Management
Management of budgeted positions including regular faculty/staff. To hire an employee for a position in Workday, an available, unfilled position must first exist. A position exists for each employee and a single position must be created for each new employee. One position is approved at a time.
Position Management allows a department to:
- Create/request a new position
- Edit/change a position
Examples of position management:
- Tenure Track Faculty
- Affiliate Faculty
- Administrative Professional (AP)
- Hourly Staff
Job Management
Management of budget pool jobs including the following: adjunct faculty, visiting faculty, adjunct AP, temporary hourly, and student employees. This allows for the hiring of multiple jobs via one job requisition and does not require a position to exist prior to hiring an employee.
Job management allows a department to:
- Request for multiple jobs to be hired using one job requisition
- Hire a worker for a temporary or fixed term
- Requires periodic renewals for continuation of a job
Examples of job management:
- Visiting Faculty
- Adjunct Faculty
- Adjunct Administrative Professional (AP)
- Temporary Hourly
- Student Employees
