New Close Position checkbox available within Change Job, End Job, and Terminate Employee processes

We’ve made it quicker and easier to close vacant positions by adding a new Close Position checkbox within the Change Job, End Additional Job, and Terminate Employee processes.

If a position being vacated will no longer be used, those completing the Change Job, End Job, or Terminate Employee process may select the check box to close the position. It is recommended to close the position if it is not anticipated the position will be refilled or enter into a recruiting effort within the next 6 months.

Along with being essential to HR processes, HCM data connects with finance, payroll, and other data across the WSU system for comprehensive reporting, planning, and other business activities. There are currently over 9,600 vacant positions at the university.
