Is an Employee Requisition Form Really Necessary for Filling a Replacement Vacancy?

Hi All, Is the employee requisition form mandatory to fulfill a replacement vacancy? If yes, why?

Regards, Krupakar Reddy.

It's not mandatory, but we still require smooth operations for HR activities. Additionally, after hiring employees, there may be questions regarding who approved aspects such as salary and replacement.

Importance of an Employee Requisition Form

To avoid these issues, it is better to have an employee requisition form and obtain signatures from the MD, CEO, or COO.

It all depends on the size of the company, its work culture, systems, and methods. However, as a sound procedure that works on the principle of accountability, it is always better to have a record of manpower planning, such as which department requisitioned the manpower and why, for future reference like HR audit, etc.

It depends on the policies and procedures established by the organization for manpower requirements. It may not be necessary that if an employee has left the organization, there would be a replacement. You need to demonstrate to management that the replacement is necessary. Hence, most organizations have an employee requisition form that contains details justifying the need for resources in the department, as this incurs costs to the department.

This also helps in planning the budget and costs by the respective department and HR to find the right candidate for the department as required.

It depends on the policy of the organization, and this is not necessary. If there is a requirement, then you have to fulfill the vacancy for smooth operation in your organization.

Manpower Requisition Form

Another important aspect is the manpower requisition form. The manpower requisition form will help you define the roles and responsibilities of individuals in your organization. This will assist you in preparing the organization chart and indicating their status (i.e., to whom they have to report). It will also help you in preparing the annual budget because the manpower requisition form contains all relevant data about the position. The requisitioner will fill in all the necessary information such as qualifications, total years of experience, general job duties, and the expected salary.

In summary, the manpower requisition process will help you define all the necessary details.
