The Post Approval process ensures that all replacement or new positions undergo a thorough review process considering budgetary constraints, criticality and strategic importance of the work. All posts will require appropriate approval from relevant local approvers including Finance Business Managers in the first instance before they are considered by the ULT Post Approvals Sub Group (Sub Group). Having regard for budgetary and workforce constraints (ECF), posts considered under this post approval process will be assessed based on affordability and criticality.
Post Approval FAQs are available on the Project Alpha Share Point
