Individual vs. Pooled Positions

When hired, employees are assigned to a position number.

  • An individual position has one employee assigned to a single position number. Most full-time positions are individual positions.
  • A pooled position has only one position number but multiple employees can be assigned to that position number. Pooled positions provide a way to budget for multiple people who have short-term assignments to perform similar duties, for example, student workers, grad assistants and lecturers.
