Creating a part-time or casual employee
You may have employees that work on a part-time or casual basis. They could work regular hours on a weekly or fortnightly basis, or irregular hours during an entire month.
When an employee changes from full-time to part-time work, we recommend you create a new employee with their new standard hours. This ensures both the current year and prior year reports have the correct productivity percentages.
When creating an employee:
- where they work regular days and hours, Creating a new employee like a full-time employee; just with less hours in their time table.
- where they work irregular days/ hours, set their time table to have 0.00 hours Monday to Friday.
If for example they work 10 hours a week, it's recommended to enter 10 hours against a single day. The employee will then appear in Productivity reports for the month.
Additional steps (AE only)
If an employee isn't expected to work on any set days and has no standard hours set, we recommend these additional steps:
- Create a new employee category called 'Part-Time' for example, with no hours set in the time table. This is to stop the employee appearing on a Missing Timesheet report in error.
- Link the new category to the employee.
Set Enforce Time Table to None to let the employee complete their timesheets without errors on the days they do work.
