Field

Explanation

Org9

Manager ID

Every employee must be attached to an organization level 9, which is the lowest reporting level. e-timecard validates the org9 that you enter in the employee record to ensure that it is authentic, so you must create org9 records before you can create employees.

e-timecard automatically uses the org9 manager as the default for both the employee manager under the Main tab and the time card approver under the e-timecard Data tab. You can override either field if you want to designate a different manager or approver.

Employee Type

Employee types are groupings of employees who have the same pay frequency, exempt or non-exempt status, etc. Each employee must belong to an employee type. When you create an employee record, you enter one of the employee types that you created earlier. Many settings in the employee file default from the employee type, but you can override some of these on an employee-by-employee basis.

Employee Status

You associate each employee with one of the following statuses.

  • Active—Employees on full, active status for pay and benefits.

  • Long-Term Disability—Employees on disability for pay and benefits.

  • On Leave—Employees on leave of absence for pay and benefits.

  • Separated—Employees who have received notice of termination but are working through their notice period.

  • Terminated—Employees who are no longer active.
