Job is a structure used to define types of job classes to which positions and employees are assigned. The public budget formulation process involves forecasting various expense types to arrive at a final budget. Direct personnel costs such as salaries, taxes, and benefits constitute a large expense area, especially in the public sector.

Job is used to assign defaults for pay scale details and benefits costs. These defaults are used when elements are not defined at the employee/position level or when a new position is created in the budget form. The various features of Job Maintenance help users to arrive at the personnel expense area for the overall budget of an agency, department, or an organization.
