Set Up Job Level Hierarchies

Set Up Job Level Hierarchies

Security:
Set Up: Job
 domain in the Jobs & Positions functional area.
You can use job levels to categorize job profiles based on factors like the level of education, experience, or training required for the job. Example: A particular job profile belongs to the
Principal Consultant
 job level, while another job profile belongs to the
Consultant
 job level.
Peer job levels are at the same level in the hierachy. Subordinate job levels are below the parent job level in the hierarchy. Example: You create a Director job level, and then create a Manager level as a subordinate. The Manager job level is below Director in the hierarchy.
You can create multiple hierarchies, but you can only have 1 active hierarchy at a time.
  1. Access the
    Create Job Level Hierarchy
     task.
  2. In the
    Name
     field, enter a name for your job hierarchy.
  3. Select
    Level
    Insert Subordinate Level
     from the related actions menu of the hierarchy name.
  4. In the
    Name
     field, enter the highest job level type in the hierarchy.
    This job level type displays as level 1 in the
    Order
     column. Additional subordinate levels display as level 1, 2, 3, and so on.
    Once job levels are in use, you can rename them but not delete them.
  5. (Optional) Select
    Level
    Insert Peer Level
     from the related actions menu of the job level. Peer levels display as level 1, 2, 3, and so on.
    1. (Optional) To create child levels, select
      Level
      Insert Subordinate Level
       from the related actions menu of the management level. These subordinate levels will display as level 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and so on.
  6. Continue to use the related actions menu to insert job levels until the job level hierarchy is complete.
  7. Access the
    Edit Tenant Setup – HCM
     task.
    Select your new hierarchy on the
    Job Level Hierarchy
     prompt.
    Security:
