Employee types can help categorise employees based on criteria like full-time, part-time, age brackets, pay type, interns, and more. This is handy for managing supplements, leave accounts, and working time rules.
How to create or edit Employee types
To set up or change Employee types, go to Settings > People > General > Employee types. Click Create to add a new type or use the pencil icon to edit an existing one.
When editing, you can name the Employee type, add a Salary code for payroll integration, or write a description to distinguish the employee type from others.
How to set an Employee type for employees
When creating or editing an employee, you can assign their employee type.
Go to People > press the pencil to edit an employee > Employment > Employee type, and choose the appropriate employee type by pressing the Edit button.
How to see employees grouped by Employee types
To see employees by their types, go to People > Employees. Then, use the filter on the left to sort by Employee type.
How to archive an Employee type
To archive an employee type, go to Settings > People > General.
When you hover over the line of the employee type, click on the archive button on the right.
Note: If you can’t archive an employee type, make sure that it’s not connected to any active or deactivated employees.
