Challenging Task for Budget Reorganization
Due to the economic issues faced by the state our county state, government has found the need to consolidate departments and divisions, thus reducing labor costs. This is a challenging task to achieve in a timely manner. We therefore created a process that will allow us to automatically move all positions in one org to another org then transfer all org, current assignments to the new positions automatically.
Initial Problem
We had a pending mass reorganization that would require about 800 positions/employees to have new positions created and ti d t th i records. d tied to their d At 5 minutes per position being created and assigned to employee, this would be approximately 800 x 5 = 4000 minutes, i t 66 plus hours for data entry input, plus then auditing time for validation of keying. Impact on PSB Great probability of error

Position Flex Field Setup
WHY CAREER LADDER POSITIONS?
Career Ladder Positions are those positions that after certain criteria is met, like 1 additional years of service, an employee will be automatically moved to the next level. There is only 1 budgeted position in Budget, therefore, we can not setup 3 different position numbers for this. Example: Organization Name Job Name Position# Hiring Status
Building & Codes Building Inspector I Building Inspector II Building Inspector III 1479 1479 1479 Active Career Ladder NonActive Career Ladder NonActive Career Ladder
The current assignment that occupies Position Number 1479, is a Building Inspector I. After 1 year, they will become a Building Inspector II. We would go to the Position Form and do the following: 1) change the hiring status of the Building Inspector I to NonActive Career Ladder 2) change the hiring status of the Building Inspector II to Active Career Ladder. 3) update employees assignment and salary information. The F th I f fl d t Th Further Info flag determines if the i th position goes to Budget.

Mass Move - Steps Before Execution
Create new organizations if needed Print current Organization Hierarchy Diagrammer and determine needed changes. Run reports of existing positions that are to be created in new organizations. organizations Ensure you have costing allocations and export into Excel. Run reports of all employees in their current positions that are to be moved to new organizations and export into Excel organizations, Excel. Manually move any employees who will not be transferring to new organization as others will be.
Mass Move Exceptions
If you have a small amount of employees whose positions will g not be transferred to the to Organization of the Mass Move, you must manually create these positions in the new organization they will be moved to before doing the mass move for their organization. Manually change their assignment record. Wait for any assignment changes effective the date of the g g p mass change begin until after mass update is done.
New Organization Setup
Create any new organizations that are needed when consolidating old positions to new organization. Example: Old Organizations Utilities Capital Projects Utiliti C it l P j t Utilities Customer Service Utilities Technical Services Utilities Operations New O N Organization i i
