Data Entry Tips

Job Category - Use the guidance document for assistance in selecting the most applicable job category for the position. Contact OLIS if you are unsure which category to select.

Hours per Week – Report the number of hours worked by one person in that position, even if you report more than one in No. of Staff.

Degree Required - Select the minimum degree required for the position, not the actual degree of the person(s) holding the position.

Supervisory? - Respond Yes if the position includes a supervisory role.

Vacant? - Respond Yes if the position was vacant as of June 30.
