Creating employee types

Follow these steps to begin the process of creating an employee type.

To create an employee type

1. From the JAMIS Administration home page > Setup tab, under Master Files, click Employee types. Or, from the top of any JAMIS Administration screen, click Master Files > Employee Types. The Employee Types screen appears.

2. Enter up to 10 characters for an Employee Type Table code. You will later enter this code into the record of each employee that belongs to this employee type.

3. Enter up to 30 characters for a Description of this employee type.

4. The Full-Time Percent field defaults to 100.00, which describes employees scheduled to work 100% of the available work time. If the employees are not scheduled to work 100%, you have two options:

5. Change the Full-Time Percent value to the appropriate percentage, or

6. Leave the percentage at 100.00, but change the number of hours that employees work in the Hours fields, as described in the next step.

5. In the Hours Per Day, Hours Per Period, and Hours Per Year fields, set default hours for the employee type per day, per period, and per year.
   
   Hint: Your entries here do not affect standard hours, which you set in the time card profile, not in the employee type.

6. From the Pay Frequency dropdown list, select one of the following options to indicate how often employees belonging to this employee type are paid.

• Weekly

• Biweekly

• Semi-Monthly

• Monthly
  
  Hint: Your setting here does not affect how often employees enter time, which you set in the time card schedule, not in the employee type.

7. In the Regular Earning Code (user-defined label) field, enter the code to use as the default for regular earnings on time cards. To look up valid earning codes, click to the right of the field.

8. In the Status field, select whether employees belonging to this employee type are exempt or non-exempt.

9. You cannot save the employee type record until you set defaults under the e-timecard Data tab.
