Change a Worker's Current Position Details

Configure the
Edit Position
 business process and security policy in the Staffing functional area.
You can modify the details of a worker's current position. These details include the job profile, worker type, time type, location, job classifications, and work shift. These changes apply to the worker currently in the position, and don't apply to future hires or occupants of the position.
The hiring restrictions that you define using the
Create Position
 or
Edit Position Restrictions
 tasks apply to future occupants of a position. Updates apply to all future hires and job changes. You can optionally enable overrides of hiring restrictions in the
Edit Tenant Setup - HCM
 task.
