HUMAN RESOURCES MODULE TERMINOLOGY Job title: describes a role; includes education and skill

requirements, describes job functions, pay grades Post: an authorization to employ someone with a

specified job title at a specified location; can be open, filled or closed (no longer authorized) Post-centric system: posts are created and maintained

based on an authorization process or staffing norms Person-centric system: a person is hired with a job title;

posts hold data but there is no authorization process Post History: placement of a specified person in a

specified post; has a start and end date; a person’s collection of post histories represents their career

Assignment: a finer-grained version of post history, tells what the employee is supposed to be doing where and for whom

HR MANAGER USE CASES

Adding an assignment – Two types of assignments can be added to the system – Adding a current assignment – an assignment for an ongoing post for

that staff can be added. This assignment starts after the post has started. Adding a previous assignment – an assignment for a previous post can be

added. The start and end date this assignment are between the start and end date of that post.

Adding a post history – Again of two kinds – Moving the staff to a new post. The old post should be vacated when the

staff is moved to the new post and the start date of the new post history should be after the vacate date of the previous post.

Adding a previous position – A previous position can be added. This post duration should not interfere between the existing posts.

Terminate Employment – Employment can be terminated with a valid end date and end reason

which ends all the current posts and assignments with the same end date and end reason.

CONTINUED..

Adding New Posts – posts can be created from the job titles in the system and maintained.
