System Overview

The PV PAWS (Position Attribute Website System) was implemented to take the place of the old way of submitting countless pieces of paper when a department or college needed to advertise and fill a vacant position. The system provides users with the ability to:

• Update a position description
• Reclassify a position
• Fill a vacant position

The system achieves this by capturing and retaining information on the job descriptions and stores it in a repository for future use when so needed. The system will route the completed document electronically with an email notification being sent to each user when an action needs to be taken on the document.
