Human Resources

Job Description Feature

Increase transparency within your organization with the new HCM Job Description feature. Once enabled for your company, your employees will be able to view, download, and print their full job descriptions directly from the Job Summary page or Organization Chart detail card.

Company policies vary on who has access to employees’ job descriptions. HCM provides several configurable options to support your company’s policy:

  • Employees can view, download, and print a copy of their full job description from the Employee Summary page or Organization Chart page. It is best practice to provide employees access to their own job descriptions.
  • Supervisors, Managers, and Executives can access employee job descriptions for their direct reports from the Employee Summary Page or Organization Chart page.
  • Limited access can be configured to view job descriptions from the Organization Chart page based on job type.

 

Administrators must enable the feature by navigating to: Menu > System Configuration > System Settings > Employee > click “Edit” > check “Allow employees to view job description” > click Save.

Note: Managers and Supervisors always have access to view job descriptions of direct reports, even when the Employee View setting is disabled.

Mass Import Tool
