Add Position Types

A position type maps a state-defined position to a locally-implemented position type. Position types are used in the following areas:

• Setting up a new position on an employee in Finance > HR > Staff Manager for use in TRAQS and PEIMS reporting.

• Setting up access for teachers in the student service module.

We recommend that you add position types after contract types have been created, so you can link position types to contract types as you create the position types. Otherwise, you'll have to return to position types later if you want to link them to contract types.
