Creating a Job Definition

  1. In Reporting and Analytics, click Labor Management, and then click Human Resources.
  2. In Human Resources Administration, click Admin, and then click Job Definitions.
  3. Click Add, and on the General tab, update the following fields:
    • Job Name: Enter a name to identify the job. For example, Salaried Manager, Bartender, Hostess, or Line Cook.

    • Job Category: Select a job category for the job.

      This field provides a means for grouping several jobs together for reporting purposes. For example, dishwashers, chefs and cooks can be grouped together in a job category called Kitchen Staff. Job Categories are uploaded from the POS.

    • Labor Category: Select a labor category for the job.

      This field provides a means for reporting the hours worked at the job. For example, Tipped Employees, Non-Tipped Employees.

    • (Optional) Overriding Employee Class: Select the employee class whose privileges will override an employee’s normal class when working the job. Options for this field are uploaded from Reporting and Analytics.

      For example, Maggie, the assistant manager is off on Monday evenings. Chris, the head waiter, works as the assistant manager on those nights. Chris is a member of the Waiters employee class, which allows a limited set of privileges. On Monday evenings though, Chris clocks in and selects the Assistant Manager job. When he does, that job overrides his employee class and links him to the employee class Managers. As long as he is clocked in as assistant manager, Chris is able to use the privileges of the manager employee class.

    • (Optional) Revenue Center: Select the revenue center in which the job is effective.

    • (Optional) Clock-In Privilege: Select the privilege that an employee must have in order to clock-in for this position.

      Clock-in privileges are assigned to employee classes in the Employee page in the POS Configuration section on the Location Configuration tab.

    • (Optional) Minimum Age: Enter the minimum age requirement for the job.

      Entering an age restriction prevents the job from being assigned to employees who are not old enough to perform those tasks.

    • (Optional) Declare direct tips on clock out: Select this option if the job requires employees to declare direct tips (tips received from guests) when clocking out.

    • (Optional) Declare indirect tips on clock out: Select this option if the job requires employees to declare indirect tips (tips received from other employees.) when clocking out.

    • (Optional) Allow early or late clock out: Select this option to allow employees working this job to clock out early or late, even when their employee class is not privileged to do so.

    • (Optional) Print tips declared on clock out: Select this option to cause tips declared chit to print when an employee working this job clocks out.

      The chit shows the total amount of tips declared by the employee for that shift.

    • (Optional) Subject to Tipped Credit: Select this option if employees in this job receives direct or indirect tips.

      This option defines tipped jobs for calculating the tip credit.

  4. Click the Type tab.
  5. If employees are paid an hourly wage for the job, select Hourly and enter the hourly rates:
    • Default Regular Rate: Enter the normal starting wage for the job. This can be overridden by the override regular rate. Pay rate changes apply to future time clock entries. Current and past time clock entries remain at the rates that were in effect when they occurred.

    • (Optional) Minimum Regular Rate: Enter the minimum wage for the job. This is the lowest starting pay for this position.

    • (Optional) Maximum Overtime Rate: Enter the maximum overtime wage for the job. This is the highest overtime pay for this position.

    • (Optional) Maximum Regular Rate: Enter the maximum wage for the job. This is the highest non-overtime pay for this position.

  6. If employees are paid a fixed amount for the job, select Salaried.
  7. (Optional) Select one or more Overtime Levels for the job.

    A location can have up to four overtime levels. The labels change as overtime levels are defined. For example, if you create an overtime level 1 called Time and a Half, the label next to the field shows as Time and a Half l instead of Overtime Level 1.

  8. In the Effective From date editor, select the date from which the job is active.
  9. Click Save.
