7 POSITION DESCRIPTION ACTIONS The on-line position description replaces the paper Employee Work Profile (EWP). When departments request the creation of new classified positions, the process will now occur on-line. Paper EWPs and HR-2000 Forms will no longer be completed. Position Description options are listed as different actions in the on-line system. These instructions are for Create New Classified Position. To approve the creation of a new classified position, click on the Pending Actions link in the Job Descriptions section of the navigation bar on the left of the screen. The following screen will appear: Click on View under the Position Title in the first column of the position(s) with the status of Submitted for Vice President Approval. 7

Clicking on Continue to Next Page will move you to the next section. Please read all of the information carefully. You do not have the ability to edit any of the information, but you can enter comments at the end of the position description. Please note that Special Assignments are not usually entered in position descriptions at the Create stage. They are assignments that happen over time during one or two performance years and then are removed from the position descriptions. Continuing duties should appear in the Core Responsibilities/Major Job Functions section, not as Special Assignments. 8

You will have the option of returning the position description to the Supervisor for edits. You may want to make some comments about the edits you are requesting, however, the in-depth discussion of these edits should be done verbally, separate from this on-line process. A verbal notification to the Budget Unit Director (if he/she is NOT the Supervisor) of your requested changes is also recommended. Note: All comments you enter will be viewable not only by you, but by the Supervisor, the Budget Unit Director, Budget Office Staff, and Human Resources staff. 9
