Work types act as a category used to measure where an employee's spent their time working, i.e. an employee can submit a timesheet against a KM Travelled work type. This allows your organisation to track, measure and report on where your employees are working and gain a detailed breakdown of this information to use when processing employee timesheets in a pay run.
The Work Types feature allows you to add a new work type, specify where this data point will map to, and choose the employee type the Payroll platform will enable this data point for automatically. You can also use this feature to edit any previously created work types and remove the information if it is no longer required.
Important
Any changes made to your work types will need to be synced over to your HR platform. To read further details on how to undertake this, refer to this article: How do I update my organisation's work types via the HR platform?
