Employee Type Setup

Employee Type is reflected in payroll. This field is distinct from and independent of Function. Full Time Equivalents are established for each Employee Type. An example of an Employee Type may be a Contractor, Salaried Employee, or Consultant. Employee types are taken into consideration when calculating standard working hours. Policy rules may be created based on Employee Type. In addition, Time Codes and Expense types may be assigned by Employee Type.
