Position Control is a concept where all of the positions for an entity are defined, and then employees move into and out of those positions. The positions are static, but the employees in those positions are dynamic.
Position control refers to a system of tracking information based on positions rather than employees. It allows you to create a framework of positions for all the jobs within the district without regard to whether you currently have an employee in a specific job or not.
Each position has its own unique ID and is an entity separate from the employees in that position. Information about the position can be tracked over time regardless of changes to the employee’s history, FTE distribution, termination, or other elements. This allows for position history tracking separate from the changes within employees. Positions can be tracked even when there are no employees to fill specific positions.
Using position control, budgets and analyses are based on positions rather than employees. Positions are approved for the fiscal year and must be tracked whether or not they are filled. By defining a budgeted cost for each position, actual costs can be compared against those budgeted for the position. As employees change jobs within an organization, their job title, salary and other attributes also tend to change. But the position the employee was in probably still exists and maintains its budgeted cost independently from the changes to the employees that have spent time in that position.
Position Control also gives maximum flexibility for distribution of FTEs (Full Time Equivalents) - partially or as a whole. Multiple employees can be fully or partially assigned to a single position. Conversely an employee can be partially assigned to multiple positions.
