How to Create A New Position by Copying An Existing Position

In BalancedComp, Positions are tied to Departments. Sometimes the new Position you want to add is already in your system but in a different Department. No problem—you can just copy it!

 

  • Only company administrators can access BalancedComp.
  • If you have BalancedResults, copying a Position will create a new Template.
