Employee Categories

Employee Categories are used by the system to group employees together for reporting and costing purposes. When creating an Employee in the Employee Resources, an Employee Category will need to be selected and the Cost Rate will be utilised for labour bookings in the Works Orders Timesheets and Shop Floor Data Capture (SFDC) Operation Time Capture functionality.

The ‘Employee Categories’ list contains all currently configured employee categories setup in the system.

Beneath the employee categories grid there are 3 buttons:

Add: Add a new employee category.

Edit: Edit the selected employee category.

Remove: Remove the selected employee category.

Note: The Remove button is disabled if the employee category is assigned to an employee.

Adding/Editing an Employee Category

The ‘Add/Edit Employee Category’ screens are identical, and contain the following information:

Code: The employee category code. This must be unique.

Name: The category name.

Cost Rate: The hourly cost rate for employees in this category.

Press Save to save the new or amended employee category to the database.
