Job Family
A job family is a group of jobs that involve work in the same functional/general occupation and have related core knowledge and background requirements (training, skills, knowledge and expertise). The family structure is based on function and not organizational structure. Currently, career progression is most often seen within the job family.
Eg. Accounting, Auditing, Payroll, Human resources, Legal
• Note, this is optional. If your company does not utilize Job Families, you can move directly to the setting up of Jobs.
• Click on New Record and enter the Codes and corresponding Descriptions for the various Job Groups applicable to your company.
1. Click on Job Family
Once you have created a job family entry, click on the plus sign to the left of the Record to see additional details.
Click on the New Record to create the Jobs that fall under each Job Group.
Enter the data for the Job in the three tabs in the Job Profile screen.
Navigation: Personnel >> Organisation >>Setup >> Structure >> Critical Job
A critical position is one that, if it were vacant, would have a significant impact on the organization's ability to conduct normal business, deliver outputs, achieve milestones or meet budget requirements. For the purpose of succession planning, the critical jobs within the organization must be identified and an action plan identified for high potential individuals to assume those positions. These jobs may be managerial, technical or a support type job.
Criticality Levels can be determined by analyzing both the impact of the job on the mission of the organization and whether or not there is a successor position identified. Critical Levels can be defined as:
High Criticality
Moderate Criticality
Low Criticality
Different criteria and questions can also be asked can be used to identify critical jobs including but not limited to:
Is there only one person who can perform the duties of the position? Who will fill their role if they are absent?
Is there a role where the incumbent has specialized knowledge and training acquired over time through specialized training and education? Does the organization have the capacity to train and develop an individual to such a capacity?
Are there employees who may retire within five years? Has the process for transfer of knowledge started?
Is the position both strategically and operationally critical?
Once the critical jobs are identified, reports can then be generated with a listing of these jobs and other required information such as competencies, skills, etc., to take the next step of starting to identify talent for succession planning.
Job Level: Enter the Critical Job Level linked to the degree of criticality as defined in the
description. e.g. 1, 2, 3.
Description: Enter the criticality description linked to the job level. e.g. High Criticality, Moderate
Criticality, etc.
Repeat step 2 for additional jobs.

Job Tasks (Primary Responsibilities)
Job Tasks or Primary Responsibilities refer to the core duties and functions that an individual is expected to perform in their role or position within an organization. These tasks are essential for the successful execution of the job and contribute to the overall goals and objectives of the department or company. The specific job tasks can vary widely depending on the nature of the job and the industry. Organizations include responsibilities on job listings so they can communicate the type of skills and experience they're seeking from candidates.
The standards defined for these tasks describe, in measurable terms, the results that indicate that an employee in the position has properly performed the particular Essential Function. Job Standards tell us exactly how to tell that the essential function is done properly.
Job Tasks are a Pre-requisite setup item for the following modules:
Appraisals - The Primary Responsibility screen allows the user to enter each task an employee is responsible for and can be part of the employee's performance review. Link as many tasks to a job as required. These tasks or primary responsibilities will be retrieved from the job profile and 'pulled' into the appraisal form at the time of appraisal.
Recruitment - Once an employee has access our Employee Self Serve module, they can view and apply for company vacancies. The vacancy record will include the Primary Responsibilities.
Health & Safety Module - The primary responsibility can be flagged as a HSE-related task that can lead to a potential incident.
Steps to set up Job Tasks / Primary Responsibilities:
Enter Job Tasks
Enter Task Details
Enter Task Standards
• A Task Template can be downloaded, filled and then imported into this screen.
Tasks which are duplicated on multiple jobs only need to be entered once as they can then be linked to relevant jobs.
Task Code: Enter a user-defined code to reference the task.
Task Description: Enter a user-defined description for the job Task or Primary Responsibility. If there are tasks that are duplicated across jobs, these tasks only have to be entered once.
Task Tags: Task tags are specific words or phrases used to categorize and organize job tasks/primary responsibilities. This helps in efficiently managing and searching for tasks that may be related to certain topics, jobs, etc. E.g. Tags such as Accounting and HR can be used to tag the tasks which apply to those job families/groups. The power search tool can then be used to search for these tag words so HR can easily see all the related tasks for further analysis.
Note that these tags are also referenced in the 360 Multi-Rater module.
Enter user-defined Standards which allow all parties - HR, Manager, and Employee to agree on the
quality of work or performance that is expected at each level.
The Points are used to define the importance of each standard and its impact on an employee's appraisal score.
Save the record and repeat to add more tasks.

Job Tasks (Primary Responsibilities)
After the Job Tasks and associated standards have been created, these tasks must then be linked to each respective job. There are two ways to link the job responsibilities/tasks to each job.
Add each task to an individual job.
Import the Job Responsibilities Template.
From Date: Enter the date from which this task is relevant in your company. If the task is time specific, then enter a time period for the task.
To Date: If this task has an expiry date please enter that date here.
Weight: Assign a numerical value to define the weight of the task based on its importance among all the tasks linked that that specific job.
By incorporating weighting into the appraisal process, organizations can differentiate between critical tasks that heavily influence job performance and those that are relatively less significant. The weights reflect the relative significance of each task in contributing to the overall success and performance of the employee based on strengths, weaknesses, and overall contributions in their role. It also helps align performance assessment with the strategic objectives of the organization and the specific requirements of the employee's role.
The total weight assigned to all tasks for each job should add up to 100% to maintain consistency.
HSE Related: Select ‘yes’ if this task is to be linked to the Health & Safety Module. If not, select ‘No’.
NB: Only tasks that are HSE related will be available in the Health & Safety Module.
Save the record and repeat to add more tasks / primary responsibilities as the job requires.
N.B. These tasks or primary responsibilities will be retrieved from the job profile and 'pulled' into the appraisal form at the time of appraisal.
Multiple Jobs and their associated tasks can be imported via one job template import. The records
will be imported and visible on the respective job to which they apply.
