Internal (Availability Factor 2)

REQUIRED STEPS

Feeder Jobs

Internal availability is calculated from the pool of employees already in the organization that can promote into another job group. To calculate internal availability, you need to identify the feeder jobs for each job group. A feeder job is a staffed job that provides a normal promotion path into another job group.

On the Internal Availability screen, select a job group from the Job Group drop-down list. We will refer to the selected group as your target job group. If there are any feeders already assigned to this group, they will be listed on the page.

To add feeders to the target job group, click Add Feeders. The Add Feeder page will appear.

From the new page, select the group (which we will refer to as the source job group) that contains jobs that feed the target job group. The staffed jobs within this source job group will appear on the page. Select the individual jobs that feed the target group by checking the boxes and then click Add Feeders. The selected jobs will be assigned as feeders to the target job group. You may select feeders from different source job groups for a particular target job group. For example, target job group 1B may have feeders from source job group 2A and 3A.

Repeat these steps for each job group, assigning the jobs that feed the target job group.

Note: Some job groups, particularly entry level groups, will not have jobs that feed them. Therefore, it is common to have some job groups with no assigned feeders.
