When you have a vacant regular or courtesy (temporary) position that you want to post on the Jobs website, please follow the steps below:

#1

Please check with your budget manager to verify the position can be filled.

Add Job Description to WD by submitting edit positions restrictions in Workday. If the JD already exists but you need to make changes follow the same edit position restriction process. Skip this step if JD exists in WD and no changes are needed.
