StarGarden is uniquely organization-based. Positions - jobs, appointments, assignments - are defined independently of any other organization structure allowing these to stand vacant, have a one to one relationship with existing employees, or have one position assigned to many employees. Positions hold their own attributes and information can be attached and defaulted to the employee upon assignment to the position. Once the position is assigned to an employee, another entity is created - the employee in the position.
This entity is where a majority of qualities and attributes are associated allowing benefits and wages to be connected to the position that someone holds rather than personal traits. Many organizations are now seeing the benefit of budgeting and controlling by position.;
Organization Management sits at the foundation of StarGarden 6. Positions (jobs, appointments, and assignments) are defined independently of any employee, which means they can stand vacant, support a one-to-one relationship with an employee, or have multiple employees assigned to a single position. Positions hold their own attributes, so benefits, wages, and compensation connect to the role rather than the person. For unionized organisations, that means bargaining unit rules, FTE constraints, and compensation entitlements are tied to the position itself, keeping administration consistent across every collective agreement.
Organization Management includes capabilities to support position structure, workforce planning, budgeting, and org design.
Define unlimited positions, job titles, occupations, and occupation types with user-defined status codes and data fields. Support functional organizational structures across 3 levels and physical structures across 2 levels.
Set up position reporting hierarchies that support organization charting and reporting across your entire workforce. Because hierarchies are tied to positions rather than individuals, they stay accurate as people move through the organization; promotions, transfers, and departures update the picture automatically without manual restructuring.
Set position budgets in total or by individual organizational unit. StarGarden 6 dynamically records actual against budget FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) by position and organization, so you always know where you stand.
Support multi-FTE and partial-FTE positions to reflect how your workforce actually works. Receive online warnings when FTE budgets are exceeded at the position or organizational level on hire or transfer. For unionized employers, position-level FTE controls support compliance with bargaining unit agreements that define staffing levels and hours thresholds.
Apply position job valuation using Hay Points or other point systems, with direct connection to your compensation scheme. Decisions about pay are grounded in the structure, not made in isolation.
Define skill requirements at the position level and manage internal and external postings and job competitions directly within StarGarden 6. Position skills carry forward to inform recruitment and hiring.
StarGarden 6 builds workforce management on a position-based foundation, where roles exist independently of the people who fill them.
Create positions independently of any employee and assign them to functional and physical org structures. Positions hold their own attributes including titles, occupations, skill requirements, status codes, and data fields, so your org structure reflects how your organisation actually operates.
Assign budget targets at the position or organizational unit level and track actual FTE against those targets in real time. StarGarden 6 alerts HR and managers when budgets are at risk on hire or transfer, supporting better workforce planning decisions before they become problems.
When an employee is assigned to a position, StarGarden 6 creates a combined entity that ties benefits, wages, and compensation directly to the role. Position job valuation connects to compensation planning, and skill requirements carry forward to recruitment. For organisations with multiple bargaining units, connecting entitlements to the position ensures they are applied correctly and consistently every time.
Organization Management connects directly to the people, processes, and workflows across StarGarden 6, serving as the structural foundation that the rest of the system builds on.
Organization Management is the backbone of Core HR in StarGarden 6. Employee Demographics, Compensation, Benefits Management, and Accruals and Balances all connect to the position record, so workforce data stays consistent and accurate across the entire Core HR module without duplicate entry.
Position skill requirements and job postings connect directly to Recruitment within Extended HR. When a position opens, its attributes and skill requirements flow into the recruitment process, and applicant information transfers to the employee record on hire, closing the loop from vacancy to onboarding.
StarGarden 6 includes an embedded workflow toolset that automates processes, routes approvals, and aligns activity to your organisation's structure. Position-level changes including transfers, FTE adjustments, and new hire setup participate in those workflows, so position management moves through the right channels rather than being handled manually.
Structure, plan, and manage your workforce by position in one connected StarGarden 6 system.
