Set Up: Job
 domain in the Jobs & Positions functional area.
You can use Job classifications for job-related regulatory reporting and to categorize job profiles. Combine your job classifications into job classification groups so that you can meet occupation or job-related reporting requirements. You can define job classification groups for jobs or positions in all locations or a specific country or region.
Once job classifications are in use, you can inactivate them but not delete them.
Workday also delivers several country-specific job classification groups.
  1. Access the
    Create Job Classification Group
     task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Job Classification Group Mapping
    If using Workday for compliance reporting, select a Workday-delivered job classification group.
    Select:
    • Primary Function (IPEDS)
       to use this job classification group for IPEDS reporting.
    • DSN Job Classification Group (PCS-ESE 2003)
       to use this job classification group in Déclaration Sociale Nominative (DSN) reporting.
    • DSN Job Classification Group (Complément PCS-ESE 2003)
       to report complementary PCS-ESE codes in DSN reporting.
    Maps to
    For U.S. EEO and IPEDS reporting only.
    Select the EEO or IPEDS occupational category that your job classification maps to. You can use this mapping to expedite downstream reporting specific to that reporting entity.
Add job classifications to job profiles. The job classifications that you assign to a job profile can come from different job classification groups. When you fill a job or position based on a job profile, Workday automatically assigns the job classifications on the job profile to the worker.
When a job profile has multiple job classifications, Workday automatically populates the classifications applicable to all countries and any country- or region-specific classifications. Workday uses the job location address of a worker to determine the country or region-specific classifications to associate with the worker.
You can assign additional classifications to a job or position during staffing events, such as hires or transfers, or when you edit a job or position. However, you can't override classifications that automatically populate from the job profile during those events.
