The ASCENDER Position Management application integrates employee, payroll, and budget data while tracking position and employee changes. This management tool allows you to:

• Control active, inactive, occupied, vacant, and proposed positions.
• Track vacant and proposed positions to provide a reliable position count.
• Prevent a new hire from being placed in an occupied position.
• Allow budget calculations and simulations to be performed with varying criteria.
• Automate payroll expense calculations and move them to the payroll and budget systems.
• The primary focus of PMIS is position tracking; therefore, the signed-on payroll frequency is ignored and the year (current or next) is used.
