Employment Basis and Worker Type

How Employment Basis and Worker Type affect leave, payroll export, and pay setup for an employee.

What it is

Employment Basis records whether an employee is Full Time, Part Time, or Casual at a location. Worker Type records whether the person is an Employee or an independent Contractor.

Where to find it

  1. Go to Employees.

  2. Select an employee.

  3. Select Work Setup.

How it works

  • Employment Basis has three options: Full Time, Part Time, and Casual.

  • Worker Type has two options: Employee and Contractor.

  • Both settings apply per location, so an employee working at more than one location can have a different Employment Basis at each.

  • Employment Basis affects leave. Leave for a casual employee is automatically marked as not requiring payroll sync, since casual employees do not usually accrue paid leave in the same way.
