As an organisation, you may have employees that need to change their employment type, due to contract changes or a work allocation or role change within your company. Therefore, you many need to update your payroll platform to accurately reflect the changes to the employees working conditions. The Employment Type Setting feature allows you to do this and update their an employee's work type, between full-time, part-time, labour hire, superannuation income stream or casual.
Important
If you are using Employment Hero, we recommend making employment-type changes in Employment Hero, and then these changes in Employment Hero will sync over to your Employment Hero payroll classic platform.
