HR employee resources - Position descriptions
This guide provides information and resources on where employees can learn more about Position Descriptions, title, and classification.
Position descriptions are required for all positions at UWL. You are encouraged to use the attached template as a starting point in drafting a position description. The information you provide in the template will be reviewed by Human Resources and once finalized, can be transferred to the position management module in PeopleAdmin, where you are able to view and modify position descriptions for your subordinates.
