Changing Working Title on Job Data in HRS
Overview
This guide will walk you through the steps of changing the Working Title on an employee's job. Working Title is updated on the Add/Update Position Info page, or for employees without a Position, on the Job Data page, UW Custom tab.Process Considerations:
- For employees in a Position, changing the Title on a Position will change the Position Description and the Working Title on the Job Data page.
- A change in position data will not automatically flow to Job Data when the Effective Date of the position change is earlier than the last effective dated row on Job Data. Contact your Affinity Group for assistance in this situation.
- Changes to position data affect all incumbents of the Position. If this is not desired, you may need to transfer an incumbent to another Position.
