Home > Human Resources > Job Aids > Change a Supervisor
Use the Change a Supervisor job aid to update an employee’s direct supervisor, ensuring approval routing and position reporting lines remain accurate in the system. The Supervisor Change process is used to update the supervisor assigned to a position. This change is completed at the position level, rather than at the employee level.
Before initiating a supervisor change, verify you have the following information:
The Effective Date of the reporting change.
The Position Number of the employee being updated.
The Position Number of the new supervisor.
Important Information: Clicking Submit does not instantly update the record, rather it initiates a workflow transaction that must pass through all required administrative approvals.
Use Global Search to navigate to the POSM page: Select the expand/collapse (🞂) icon in the search bar, select Page Code, enter POSM, and select POSM Position Management Activity Folder from the list.
The POSM Activity Folder page opens to a query.
