- Go to ELECTION WORKERS
> EW Utilities > Election Worker Admin > Position and Pay
Rates Maintenance.
- On the Election Worker Position Maintenance dialog, select the position to copy the new position
from in the EW
Code field. Then click Add New Position
Like This One.
- Give the new position a code by entering up to two
characters here. The code appears in place of the position name on
many reports, so it's a good idea to use position codes that can be
deciphered easily, such as C for the Clerk position, I for Inspector,
AC for assistant Clerk, etc. Click OK to create the new code.
- In the field to the right of the position code, enter
a name for the new position, such as Clerk, Inspector, or Assistant
Clerk.
- If the new position is the Clerk position—even if your county's name is
something other than Clerk, select
the This is the Clerk Position
in this County check box. The Clerk position is included in certain reports
and mail merge documents along with the Clerk's name and phone numbers.
Note: Only one position can be defined as the Clerk
position. If you already have a position defined as the Clerk and you
select This is the Clerk Position in
this County for another position, the check box on the first
position is automatically cleared.
- In the Sort Order
field, specify the order in which positions are shown on many of the election worker reports. The sort order is also applied on dialogs where worker
positions are listed.
If you want to list your Clerks first, then your assistant Clerks, and then Inspectors, enter 1 in the Sort
Order field for the Clerk position, 2 in the field for assistant
Clerks, and 3 in the Inspector field.
- In the Class Hours
field, enter the number of training class hours workers in the position
must complete in order to work an election. You will be allowed to
assign workers to the position who don't have sufficient class hours,
but the Election
Workers Class Hours report will indicate that they need more class
hours before they can work in that position.
- Under the Precinct Staffing
Requirements box, you can specify the minimum number of workers
in this position needed at each precinct and the minimum number required
for each precinct register book. Values entered here are used by the
Election Worker Staffing Levels report to calculate how many workers in
each position are needed at each precinct. If you enter values in
both fields, the report uses the greater number to determine required
staffing levels.
- The pay items shown in the middle of the dialog were
copied from existing position you used to create the new position.
Now you need to make any adjustments to the pay information for the
new position. For instructions, see Maintain Pay
Rates for Worker Positions.
- When you have finished setting up the position, click
Save.
