Work Status

The Work Status master file allows you to set up the work status codes and descriptions that are used to group employees for reporting purposes. Examples of work statuses include part-time, full-time, temporary, PRN, etc.

To access the Work Status window, go to Payroll > Master Files > Work Status. [+]

The following tasks can be performed from this window:

Change or narrow your search results by entering specific search criteria:

  1. In the Search By field, use the drop-down list to select how you want to search the list and sort the results. Select from the following sort options: Description or Status Code.

  3. Click Find to display the search results in the grid.
