Position Information - PBTBPS
The Position Budgeting (PB) Position Information (PBTBPS) page is used to maintain information about specific positions and includes Job Codes, PCN Information, and PCN Validation tabs.
Header
Model: This field stores the Model ID.
Job Code Information Tab
The Job Code Information tab contains records regarding job code information. This page is used as a PCN/Position tab's validation page and the fields under the Default Job Information header can, in certain situations, affect the budget calculation.
Job Code: This field contains the job code.
Job Description: This field contains the job code description.
Work Comp Cd: This field displays the worker's compensation code associated with the job code.
Bargaining Unit: This field displays the worker's compensation code associated with the job code.
Salary Index: This field is used to determine the initial salary amount if a pay assignment's salary index contains DEFAULT. This value of DEFAULT would generally be assigned on the PB Vacant Position Information (PBUPVP) page and used for vacant pay assignments. If the salary index contains DEFAULT, then the salary index stored on the appropriate Job Code Information record is used to select an amount and AXP from PB Salary Table Information (PBTBSL) page. The amount and AXP are then used in determining the pay assignment's calculated salary.
Salary Amount: This field functions the same as the Salary Index field in that it is only used for pay assignments with a salary index of DEFAULT. It is only used if the Job Code Information tab's Salary Index field is blank. The amount field is then used as an initial annual salary for the pay assignment.
Benefit Employee: This field is only used when calculating a vacant position. A vacant position is one that contains any of the following:
- 0 Employee ID
- DF Record Type
- VC Record Type
- Y Vacant field
When calculating a vacant pay assignment, the system checks if the employee ID associated with the pay assignment exists on the PB Employee Information (PBUPEM) page, Benefit tab. If the ID is not found on the PB Employee Information page, Benefit tab, then the ID stored in the Job Information tab's Benefit Employee field is used. The benefits associated with that ID will then be calculated for the vacant pay assignment.
The six fields under the "APU Calculation Information" header are specific to customers using APU calculations. Contact PowerSchool for more information.
PCN/Position Information Tab
Many of the fields on PCN/Position Information tab are used for validation on the PB Employee Information page, Pay Assignment tab. Thus, if a new position is to be budgeted for, it will first need to be entered on the PCN/Position Information tab before it can be entered on the PB Employee Information (Pay Assignment tab) or PB Vacant Position Information pages. Note: A new position is different from a vacant position. A vacant position is one that currently exists in the HR system, but does not have an employee assigned to it. Since it exists in HR, it would be imported into the PCN/Position Information tab page. A new position is one that does not currently exist in the HR system, thus it would need to be hand entered on PCN/Position Information tab. The position could then be assigned to an employee on the Pay Assignment tab and thus be budgeted for the next year. None of the fields on this page affect the budget calculation.
Upon entering a record (manually or via the import utility), an associated record is created in the "pbpcntbl" table in the database. The reason for this is that the PCN field on the PB Employee Information page, Pay Assignments tab, validates to this table.

PCN Description: This field displays the PCN description.

PCN Validation Tab
The PCN Validation tab stores unique PCN numbers and is used by the PB Employee Information page, Pay Assignment tab's PCN field, as a validation table. It is populated by the import program. This page does not need to be updated by the user. If a new PCN is needed on PCN Validation, then when an entry on PCN/Position information tab is made with the desired PCN, a new record will be created in PCN/Position information tab for that PCN.
PCN: This field stores a unique PCN number used by the PB Employee Information page, Pay Assignment tab's PCN field for validation.
PCN Description: This field displays the PCN description.
Begin-End dates: These dates indicate the active date range of the PCN. The dates are also used as filters for the PB Employee Information page, Pay Assignment tab's PCN pick list. Only PCNs with a date range spanning the PB Employee Information page, Pay Assignment tab's Calc date range will be displayed.
