Overview

This form is used to define a position. A position has to be defined in Banner to be able to assign an employee to a position.

There are two position types:

Hourly:
- When hiring an employee into an hourly position, complete the position # in the NBAJOBS section on the PAF by adding an H before the position class (i.e., H19011 for an Hourly Admin Office Spec I).
