6. ORGANIZATIONAL CHART

7. POSITION CONTROL VS. POSITION MANAGEMENT
• These terms are often confused as the same functionality
• Position management is an add-on feature or module used to provide basic position
tracking capabilities
• Position Control is inherent functionality that acts as the foundation of a position-centric
HR and Payroll platform, not a separate component

8. INDUSTRY CHALLENGES
• The Health and Human Services industry faces a unique set of challenges:
• Funding sources and allocations, restricted budgets, complex
reporting requirements
• Long recruiting cycles, high turnover rates, onboarding and
credential management
• Federal, state, and local regulatory compliance requirements

9. BETTER BUDGETING
• Position Control enables you to budget at the position level
• Positions must be approved to fill, eliminating over-hiring
• Ensures that you never have any un-budgeted employees
• Enables you to draw up complete, detailed labor reports
• Allows for robust labor analysis
• Executives are able to make informed decisions on labor costs

10. STREAMLINED ONBOARDING
• Seamlessly transition candidates from recruiting to onboarding
• Details associated with the position are already there
• Avoid the rekeying of the same information each time a new hire comes on board
• Credentials are tied to the position to ensure compliance
• A structured onboarding process improves the employee experience and
engagement

11. ENSURED COMPLIANCE
• Maintaining compliance was rated as the most important workforce management
initiative by HHS executives
• Regulations at the federal, state, and local levels – including FLSA, wage and hour laws,
and tax laws – are constantly changing and increasingly complex
• Individual positions may have specific credentials and certifications that need to be
updated or renewed regularly
• Position Control can automate alerts when credentials are expiring and safeguard against
non-compliance

12. ROBUST REPORTING
• Filter report data by job code, position, date range,
organizational level, or other attributes
• Customize reports to drill down into the details you
need for visibility into your workforce, including
vacancy reports, daily lost revenue reports, and
roll-up reports
• Reporting with Position Control allows you to easily
view funding allocations, compare budgeted vs.
actual data, and much more

13. SUMMING IT ALL UP
• Position Control helps you organize your workforce and increase visibility
• It has many advantages over employee-based systems and add-on features like
position management
• Position Control is particularly useful to Health and Human Services organizations
• It can help with budgeting, onboarding, compliance, reporting, and much more
