Tips and Tricks

At times you may need to use your scroll bar to view additional information. Historical reporting on the position is still possible. This document will provide instruction for

the most common workflow,which is Initiator Compensation Org Management VP/Dean approval. The request will always funnel to Compensation and Organizational

Management. The approval levels will vary depending on the type of position and location in the organizational structure.

To save time, know the ID of the position you would like to delimit. On the form, you always click 'select position' when any changes are made to the position ID.

Ensure you are delimiting the correct position by reviewing the position attributes on the form. On the form, you click the Enter key to validate data. The form will error if you attempt to delimit a position while an employee is actively hired into

the position. If you inactivate a position today, it will still appear on your organizational chart since it is still

active today. It will no longer appear on your chart tomorrow. This process begins when a manager or a proxy (initiator) submits a request to delimit a

position. To begin, the initiator will log into the BUworks Central portal, and then navigate to the Manager Self-Service tab.
