Creating Employee Classes

You can set collective options for a group of similar employee roles using an Employee Class. Each employee must belong to an Employee Class to perform workstation operations.

  1. Select the property, click Configuration, and then click Employee Classes.
  2. Insert a record for a group of employees (for example, server, bartender, or host), and then double-click the record to open it.
  3. On the General tab, set information for the fields as described in the following table:

    Table 11-2 Employee Class Settings

    Field Description

    #Hours/Day Before OT

    Enter the number of regular hours that employees in the Employee Class can work in a single day before being paid at the overtime rate.

    #Hours/Period Before OT

    Enter the number of regular hours that employees in the Employee Class can work in a single pay period before being paid at the overtime rate.

    ISL Options

    Select the ISL Employee Options to allow employees in the Employee Class to execute Interface Script Language (ISL) scripts.

    ISL is the Oracle Hospitality proprietary interpreted language used to create small programs called scripts. The ISL options act like a transaction privilege level in an ISL script. ISL scripts can be written to include variables that check for the presence of these privileges for the employee who is running the script. If the employee is not a member of an Employee Class that has the necessary ISL employee option set, the script does not execute, and a privilege prompt appears.

    Default Trans TS

    Select the default touchscreen that appears when members of the Employee Class sign on to a workstation.

    MMH Default Trans TS

    Select the default touchscreen that appears when members of the Employee Class sign on to a Mobile MICROS device.

    Pickup/Add/Xfer SLU Style

    Select a touchscreen style that workstation operators can use when adding and transferring checks with the Add/Transfer Check Screen Lookup (SLU) function key.

    View Screen/Style Names for RVC

    Select this option to view the screen names and styles set in the revenue centers.
  4. Click the Operator Options tab.
  5. For each revenue center listed, from the Operator Type drop-down list, select the guest check printing method for workstation operators assigned to the Employee Class.

    • By Round: Select this option to print a guest check at the end of each service round, showing only the changes posted to the service round.

    • On Demand: Select this option to print a buffered guest check after performing a Service Total or tender set to print an on demand check.

    • Temp On Demand: Select this option to print a guest check on demand (in a by round manner).

    • Special By Round: Select this option to print a guest check on demand for all rounds except the first round of a check. The first round always prints. Subsequent service rounds print if the Service Total is set to print an on demand check.

  6. For each revenue center listed, select the appropriate Options for workstation operators assigned to the Employee Class, and then click OK.

    Using a Server Employee Class as an example, you can require all servers in a revenue center to enter the number of guests when beginning new checks and to enter table numbers.

  7. Click Save.
