How do I activate/deactivate a department position? (2024.05)

Positions 

Setting up a department position means a position is added to a department and the position can be added to employees who are included in the department. You can determine if a department position can be actively assigned to employees in the department, or if the department position is inactive. Inactive department positions cannot be assigned to an employee.

Guidelines

  • Before you change an active department position to inactive, you must remove the position from all employees or you can enter an end date on the employee position. 

  • When the 2024.05 release is installed, the default setting will set the department position status to active. If you want to change the status on a department position to inactive, you will need to look up the department position to update it.  

 

The Activate Position checkbox is included in the 2024.05 release. 

 

Activating a department position

1. Open Connect Payroll > Organization > Positions. 

2. Click the Departments tab. 

The list on the left shows all of the departments with the position. You can set the active status for each department, which will allow a manager or supervisor to add the position to an employee who's included in the department. 

Organization > Positions, Departments tab 

 

3. Click to select a position. 

4. Click to select the Activate Position checkbox.
