OCE.5:11.1 - Current-Line Selection for Position Design

Comparison position	Selected result for practice
Current question	Does this recurring expected contribution need a stable organization-dependent position, or can direct assignments, tasks, projects, or other arrangements carry it?
Selected current line	Establish or preserve a position only when vacancy, holder replacement, continuation, institutional force, and identity-bearing expected contribution or eligibility change the decision. Otherwise keep the contribution and direct assignments without inflating a durable position.
Serious alternative	Treat the job title, job description, chart box, role taxonomy, or fully deconstructed task/project market as the default organization design.
When the alternative is sufficient	A direct task, project, or assignment is sufficient when no stable institutional locus must persist across holders and no establishment or continuation claim is needed.
When the selected line changes action	If the organization must recognize vacancy, continuation, abolition, eligibility, or the same contribution locus across holder changes, recover the owning organization and establishment predicate, then define identity-bearing criteria.
Reopen	Reconsider when unlike institutional settings defeat the identity test, current work-design evidence changes the position versus direct-assignment choice, or the institutional locus must persist outside any one owning organization.
