Create Contingent Worker Types

Create Contingent Worker Types

Security:
Set Up: Position
 domain in the Jobs & Positions functional area.
You can define contingent worker types to categorize and track contingent workers in your organization. You can also use contingent worker types to generate purchase orders.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Contingent Worker Types
     task.
  2. Specify a
    Contingent Worker Type Name
     for each type of contingent worker contracted by your organization.
    Examples:
    Consultant
    ,
    Contractor
    , or
    Vendor
    .
  3. (Optional) Select the
    Require Cost Information on Job Requisition
     check box if you use job requisitions and plan to create purchase orders automatically from contingent worker requisitions.
  4. (Optional) In the 
    Restricted to Countries
     field, select 1 or more countries in which the contingent worker type applies.
    Leave the field blank if the contingent worker type is applicable in all countries.
    Restricting contingent worker types to a country doesn't prevent you from contracting that contingent worker type in other countries. The 
    Contingent Worker Types
     prompt category in the 
    Contingent Worker Type
     field lists all contingent worker types, even types not intended for the current country. The 
    For Current Country
     prompt category limits your selection to contingent worker types restricted to that country and applicable in any country.
  5. (Optional) Select the
    Inactive
     check box to inactivate a contingent worker type.
    When a contingent worker type is no longer valid, you can inactivate it, but you can't delete it.
  6. Review the
    Current Position Usage
     and total
    Usage Count
     for each contingent worker type. The
    Current Position Usage
     only includes current, filled positions.
You can apply contingent worker types to workers in the
Contract Contingent Worker
 task and other contingent worker staffing tasks.
