Abolish a Position
Information to consider before you proceed:
- The position must be vacant and must not have any subordinate positions reporting to it. If the position is vacant but the employee has not been transferred out, the position will be frozen and abolished once vacant.
- If the position is excluded, you must consult Labour Relations via the General HR Enquiry Form to discuss the implications of this action (not applicable for EX positions).
- No signed documents are required to abolish a position; however, you must ensure that the person indicated in the "Manager Field" of the Human Resources Service Centre (HRSC) portal is the delegated manager. If not, you will need to add the email approval from the delegated manager to your HRSC request.
Forms/documents:
If applicable:
- If the position has subordinates, you must first submit a change of reporting relationship request using the Human Resources Services Centre (HRSC) portal – refer to the Change of Reporting Relationship procedure for the mandatory documents.
- If you need to abolish more than one position, complete and add the Abolish multiple positions Template (XLSX, 39 KB) to the HRSC request.
Next steps:
To abolish a position, submit a request in the HRSC portal by using the Abolish a position Form and include additional documents (if applicable).
