Best Practices

  • Reuse the Department Chair position number during the summer months instead of placing the incumbent on Short Work Break (SWB) or assigning a different interim title code. Direct reports must always have an active supervisor on record.
  • If a different position number is used during an interim period, please submit a Service Hub (SH) case to your HR Partner to update all direct reports to reflect the interim supervisor. Ensure they are reassigned to the original Department Chair once the interim period ends.


  • Please review the Processing Deadline column on your report to assess entry timeline.
