Worker Types

You select a worker type when you create a new person record or work relationship. Because a person can have multiple work relationships of multiple types simultaneously, a person can have multiple worker types at once.

You manage work relationships using the Work Relationship quick action on the My Client Groups or My Team tab.

Which worker types apply at any time depends on the legal employer context. For example, consider this summary of a single person's work relationships with the enterprise.
