Video 1 - Interact HRMS - Position Budgeting and Control

Position Budgeting and Control is an Interact HRMS application that supports Position Budget and Control within any organization. The functionality provided by Position Budgeting and Control will enable those organizations that manage manpower based on a specific Position Budget/Manpower Plan to streamline the position budgeting and reporting process. Under the Position Budgeting Model of an HR operation, a department (organization unit) in an organization cannot hire an employee unless there is an available position in its budget. The position budget is decided/prepared at the beginning of each Fiscal Year by having the Organization Unit Heads fill in Position Worksheets which are then consolidated by the system for Review and Approval by Finance and HR. Once the Position Budget of an Organization Unit is approved, the Position Slots can be created and routed for Approval. Position Slots can be defined with all Compensation elements including Earnings, Allowances, Benefits, Deductions, Bonuses, Commissions and Expenses. Following the creation of Position Slots, the Organization Units can issue Requisitions against their Budget using the approved Position Slots. iPosition consists of two major components (subsystems), the first is pertinent to "Position Budgeting" or "Manpower Planning", and the second is relevant to "Position Control". Comprehensive features are available to handle changes in the position budget. Position Budgeting can also be configured to track the Grade for each position and use a Financial Budget for the same position which is the result of the Grade Step matrix that is defined.
