Work types are essential categories that help track and report where employees spend their working time. These categories facilitate accurate data collection, enabling detailed timesheet submissions and streamlined pay run processing. To learn how to add, edit and delete work types on the payroll platform, see this article.

If you are using EH Payroll and not the classic version, please refer to this article: Change non-editable payroll items and settings for EH Payroll.
Work types will sync automatically
Previously, syncing was manual, requiring the use of an “Update from Payroll” button. This process has been automated to avoid common errors and improve data accuracy. Note: Work types will appear as “disabled” in Employment Hero if they no longer exist in the payroll classic platform. Disabled work types cannot be deleted if they have been previously used, ensuring accurate historical data within the platform’s Audit Trail.
