Position Management > Enhancements in PUM 29

Position management is the relationship between jobs, positions, employees and all their associated characteristics.

“Job” and “Position” cannot be used interchangeably. A ‘Job’ is a collection of tasks and responsibilities designed to accomplish work within the organization. A ‘Position’ is a specific occurrence of a job, in other words, it is a job independent of an employee. Apart from characteristics inherited from Job, Position has additional characteristics as well.

Advantages of Position Structured System
