# Configuring How Built Handles Positions for Imported Terminations and New Hires

## To determine if Built automatically deletes/creates positions for imported terminations and new hires:

*Only Company Admins can adjust company settings. Learn more about* [*managing user roles and permissions*](/v1/docs/managing-user-roles-and-permissions)*.*

1. At the top of the main navigation, click your company name, then click **Company Settings.**
2. Click the **Imports** tab.

*If the Imports tab is not initially visible, click the More dropdown.*
3. Locate the General Import Settings section and click the **Edit** button.
4. Click the Termination Effect dropdown to choose what will happen to a person’s position when the individual is terminated during an import. Select **Keep the Position Open** or **Delete the Position**.

*Customers integrating with a supported HRIS can also confirm if they want Built to automatically create new positions for new hires. Selecting Yes means Built will create a new position for each new hire unless a position ID is entered in the HRIS, placing the individual in the appropriate existing position. Selecting No means that when a new hire is imported without entering a position ID, Built will not create a new position. The new hire can either be manually moved into a position or will be moved once a position ID is entered. Entering position IDs in your HRIS ensures that Built places imported individuals in the appropriate existing positions rather than creating new ones unnecessarily. Learn about* [*copying position IDs*](/v1/docs/copying-position-ids)*.*
5. Click **Save**.
