How to remove a job from an employee
Introduction:
Many employers require that their employee’s hours are tracked according to jobs worked.
Jobs and phases allows the company to have a better grasp on the actual costs that it spends on labor and services performed for its’ clients.
Navigation to Jobs and Phases:
Home > Account Settings > Time & Attendance > Jobs and Phases
View All Entries:
From here you will be able to view which entries are currently active.
Setting up Jobs and Phases
The setup of the Jobs/Phases module is activated from the:
Home > Account Settings > Time & Attendance > Company Settings > Jobs/Phases Tab.
The max character length is tied to the import name that you would use if you were to import this data into your third party payroll software.
The tiers that you see represent the hierarchy that you can use to establish which jobs are linked together and part of a subset of another job.
Tier 1: Anderson Location
Tier 2: Cleaning
Tier 3: Mopping
Tier 4: Waxing
Creating new Job/Phase
Home > Account Settings > Time & Attendance > Jobs and Phases > Create New Entry
When you create a job, that job overwrites the general wage set for the employee. It is recommended that a job called “normal” or “regular” is created so employees can receive Holiday pay and vacation pay at a standard rate.
Job Name - This name is displayed throughout the system, often referred to as a common name.
Import Name - The name in which your third party software recognizes the Job Name for importing the file.
Job ID field - Strictly for tracking employee Jobs when they are using a clock, or other peripheral device.
Once the job is created, select the checkbox to have the assignments updated. The following box will then be displayed.
Any employee can clock into that job if the manager goes to the job menu and edits the job and assigns it to all employees. Please see the clock section for additional information on jobs and clocks supported by WorkSight.
There are three radio buttons
If an employee has a primary job assigned, the text of the first radio button should read:
“Your current primary job is: #NAME”
When an employee does not have a primary job assigned, the text should read:
“Your current primary job is: No primary job has been assigned to your profile.”
The first radio button should be selected by default if an employee has a primary job assigned.
The text of the second radio button should show the previous location at which the employee has clocked in.
If the employee does not have a primary department assigned, the second radio button should be selected by default, the first you will be unable to select.
The third radio button is used when the employee wants to clock in to a different job.
- When selecting the third radio button, a select should show up where you can select a job location.
- When selecting a location, another select should show up with sub locations.
This can drill down to between 2 to 4 levels, depending if a location has sub locations assigned.
When selecting a location, and sub locations are loaded but not selected and the clock in button clicked, the user should be alerted to select a sub location.
The department section should now show above the job/phase section.
