Determining Non-Benefited Position Numbers

Non-Benefited position numbers are determined using a few different factors.  Please follow these instructions to determine the position number for your Non-Benefited requisition:

1. First, you need to determine what type of position it is, each different type is associated with a number, and this number will indicate what the first one or two digits of the position number are:
   • Standard Pooled Position or Pooled Variable - 7
   • Standard Pooled Monthly - 6
   • Graduate Assistant - 51 (Graduate Teaching); 52 (Graduate Research); 53 (Graduate Administrative)
   • Work Study - 77
   • Temporary Lecturer - 99
2. Second, you'll need to know your 5-digit HR department code.  This is NOT your HCM or Finance department code.  If your specific department is not listed, roll-up to the next overarching department or area.  Please direct any questions to your Staffing/Employment Partner.  (See Department Code/Name Spreadsheet)
3. Finally, depending on the nature of the position, please choose the most appropriate workers' compensation code:
   • 1=Clerical (employee is working in an office environment, low danger category)
   • 2=Professional (employee is working in a professional position)
   • 3=Professional w/Lab (employee is working in a professional position in a laboratory)
   • 4=Non-Professional (employee is working in a non-office, high danger category)
4. These numbers are put together to create a 7-8 digit number.
