GHR Cloud Suite - Job Category Definition on Job business class

unknown

We are still optimizing the GHR system changes since our upgrade to the multi-tenant Cloud.  In legacy GHR we did not use Job Category and with the implementation plan to the cloud it remains an unused field.  Working more with the BIRST product, there are reports that use the job category in reporting widgets. 

For those that have defined job category on jobs, I am interested in how the Job Category on Job Business Class is defined.

1. What criteria/codes was used to define job category?

2. What was the basis for the definition chosen?

3. Is your organization using BIRST reports and the job category widgets for reporting?

Any information offered is much appreciated!

Thank you.

Typically you would partner with your Compensation department to help define these. It relates to how your company categorizes jobs (and positions) and how granular you want to be. An example could be Job Family - Human Resources, Job Category - Total Rewards, Job Sub-Category - Benefits, Compensation, HRIS, etc. These fields exist on both the job and the position, so you can use them the same way and have the position as an 'override' of the job, or use them differently, depending on the needs of your company.
